Default Tall Boy

Has anyone on here bought the HD tall boy seat ? If so, do you like it, what kind of bike did you put it on, etc ?

Default RE: Tall Boy

I did -- and took it back. I had it on my Ultra, and it moved me up a little (felt like I was on top of the bike, and not in it), and it also moved my up and away from the handlebars a bit -- made my hunch over even more. But I'm about 6'.

A buddy of mine has it on his RKC and loves it. He's 6'4" and needed the leg room.

Default RE: Tall Boy

I have a WG(obvious from sig) and I'm almost 6'3". I still have the stock torture device, and before spring, I want to upgrade to something better. From the description on the HD web site, the tall boy is made for taller riders.
