Yes. Another seat question
l kept the heated hammock seat from my 2011 Limited and put it on my 2018 Limited and works out fine. l haven't hooked up the heat yet. l was scrunched up with the stock seat also. Lots more room. l am 6'4" 315 lbs.

I went with a tallboy on my King. There are at least three different Tallboy two up saddles available from HD that work on the newer touring frame bikes. One sets you back a 1/2" and higher, another sets you back 1.5" back and the widest passenger cushion. And another that sets you back 2" and not as wide for the passenger. I would have went with the 2" set back but I need my wife comfortable. The 1.5" set back saddle did the trick. The stock King saddle was the worse saddle I've ever had. Threw me right into the tank and made parts of me hurt and go numb that had never felt that bad in my life.

Ok. The seat on my 2018 RK is killing my ***. I am squished n the bike. I LOVED my stock 07 RK seat. High, flat, good cushion and sat me back. I want that back. But I know I cant. I have demoed tallboy, hammock and saddleman sofa something seat. All were no bueno.
Anyone know a seat that is similar to the stocker off a 2007 RK? Id like to be a couple inches back and a bit higher on the bike and have some decent cushion.

I am not 100% sure. My dealer simply called it the Saddleman Sofa. It was quite hard and I was still low in the seat. Pushed back about 1" maybe. Not much improvement over the stock seat. Improvement but not much

The extended reach is back 2 inches from our standard , when the seat is new it is a bit like a pair of nice dress shoes and therefore does require a bit of a break in period. Let us know if we can help. Thanks!
