Default 2008 Night Train

I'm a 6'1' rider and want a new seat to set me back a couple more inches. I've already installed 3" forward control extensions. Also I've got the 8" pull back drag bars. Been trying to see if any other riders have done this as well?

Have you looked at the LePera Maverick Daddy Long Legs seat. It supposedly moves you back 2 inches. It's also available with a backrest.

How do you like the 8" drag bars? I have a 2008 Softail Custom and am thinking of new bars. Possibly drags or wide Glide style bars.

Could you post a picture of you on your bike while holding the new bars? I'm about the same height and would like to see what the riding position is. Thanks, and good luck on your seat.
