Seat question
I have a 2008 Softail Heritage. 105th Ann edition. It has a 2 piece seat. I am 6'4", when I ride more than about an hour my tailbone goes numb. Its because when I sit, the back half of my *** is on the passenger seat. If I slide forward, I feel like I am too far forward and sitting on the gas tank. A friend recommended a "tall boy" seat. In checking with our local HD shop, they dont make one for the 2008 Softail? Anyone else have any seat recommendations?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Le Pera makes a seat called Maverick Daddy Long Legs that might work for you http://www.lepera.com/v4_Softail_detail.php?SEATID=30

a guy I ride with has that seat an loves it. he's about your height an he had his foot controls extended too. I sat on his bike an I'd have a rough time riding it at 5'8". he wishes they made this in a solo or two piece seat so he could ditch the passenger pad for solo rides for the look.

Z,
They had a couple Mustang seats as well as Sundowner seats, that I tried They weren't any better than the stock seat. It felt like it pushed me into the tank. I think I am going to try the LePara seat with gel.
