Default Lucky daves seat for tall fat guys.

Okay so this may have been covered but I'm damned if I can find it.
I am wondering if any of the taller (6ft. +) Dyna guys are running lucky Dave's seats. And what your comfort level is like on longer rides.
I'm 6'4 and at 289 lbs am by no means a dainty flower. Also looking at the saddlemen step up if anyone can let me know on that. Relevant info like, forwards or mids, height, approximate weight, and inseam would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Im 6ft and 290 and have a Lucky Daves on my 16 Street Bob setup with mids and have highway pegs. Its a great seat so far. It feels a little lower and tad more forward than the stock seat but its comfortable and really holds you in place when getting on the gas.

Dynakid, check out Imzz Elite in Orange. I think they do loaners of the LD seat and have been pretty good guys to work with.

I am 6'2 and around the same weight and didn't like the position of the Saddlemen Explorer. Moved me too far forward. I've been trying and trying to get something better then the hideous HD Tallboy, but so far I haven't found anything more comfortable. I keep saying to myself: "don't give a F what it looks like" but every time I look at on my otherwise gorgeous LRS it I die a little inside...

Also tried the LePera Mav Daddy long legs and while it had a good rearward position, it was a little low. Felt crunched on my mids.

The DC seats look decent but can't find much info on em. I don't like spending money when I can't get info on a product.

I'm 6'6 240 and I have tried the gunslinger seat, two Harley seats and a another seat that the name escapes me right now, but I also have a mustang seat that I keep going back to as it is the most comfortable. it's the vintage seat and the only one that my *** doesn't hurt after a few hundred miles on the road. I want the narrow seat like mine that mustang makes as to slim up the bike a wee bit..
this is on an 01 fxdl.

What would you like to know?

You can see them made on Pedrinho Bancos site which has photos and videos. Lots of guys on IG amd Facebook have and love them. The price is unbeatable.

I'lol buy one the minute they come out with a pre 2006 seat.
