Default Night train seat

I'm sure this has been posted a million times, but here it goes.

I'm 6'4" and looking for a seat to move me down and back. Will also be adding extended forward controls, maybe apes in the future.

Will also be needing a passenger pad for when the wife decides she wants to go with.

Heard the lepera barebones solo and a couple others.

Also when I decide on one, what about mounting it? Does it come with everything necessary?

Pics would be helpful!
Thanks!

I've got the same problem, I'm 6 4 ride an 04 night train 2 inch forward extensions and just not far enough back. I've got a corbin hollywood that I picked up at a garage sale for 20 bucks but the mounted tabs have been cut off, gotta fab up a couple brackets to hold it on. When I sit on it right now it feels a couple inches back and maybe 1 down, after I get it mounted im gonna send my badlander to mean city for a double decker and 3 inch rear move. 14.5 inch apes with 3.5 inch risers. It's coumfortable but I'm sure it could be better.

C&C solo in my sig pic. Haven't had the stock seat on there in so long don't remember the difference. I just know the stocker was uncomfortable as hell. Hopefully looking at it will give u an idea of how far back it'll push u.

6'4" as well and the Corbin did the trick for me. Have a Mustang vintage solo and its better than stock but doesnt lower me at all.
