Default Question about seats


2004 Heritage Softail, I am 6'3" my late father in law who's bike I inherited was 5'8" on a good day with boots on. My question is, Are there seats that lower you and move you back? At the moment it's rideable but my rear is close to the top of the back of the seat. Thank ya'll for any guidance.

I tell this to everyone that wants to modify their seat. Get in touch with MCC Home of the best motorcycle seat modifications. These guys are the best at what they do. They can shape your seat to any way you want. Not to mention, all the comfort you could imagine. They've done 3 of mine. 2 Rider and the Pass Pillion. We're sending my GF's seat out this month.

It' won't be cheap, but it'll certainly be cheaper than trying a dozen different seats, Ask me how I know. lol.

If you look at your seat, as opposed to mine, you can clearly see the differences, I'm not tall so I had them
shave the sides too, this way my legs are tighter and not spread out when trying to reach the ground.
