I see. No problem mate.

Got the truck and the bike to match (sort of, apart from the paint).
Figured that if I'm going to be a tart, I might as well be a big tart

I had a Corbin gunfighter on mine when I got it and it was comfy for a little while, but too firm for more than a couple of hours. It also offered no hold. I slid around easy and always had to readjust. I now have a Mustang vintage wide, and its much better. A lot softer and a sit up a little higher. I sink into it though and it holds me in place great. I've also gone several hours with no problems. The Mustang is my vote.

Harley TallBoy moves me back 2 inches. I just got back from a 1200+ mile tour--7+ hours a day in the saddle and it was perfectly comfortable.

Doesn't the TallBoy lift you higher as well as move you back 2"? I need to move back, but not ride higher.

Not the model that fits the new RKCs. But I think you're right for earlier versions of the TallBoy.

Not weird at all. My son in law wears HD everything, HD tats, skull tats etc. Got turned down for an HD F150 . Rides a Honda Shadow something with the baffles pulled out. His previous bike was a Virago, also without baffles, go figure.
