Deluxe seat question
I felt the same way as you do when I first got my 08 in August 07. Now that I have about 8000 miles on it, the seat is much, much better. I can ride for several hours now. I'm 5'10", so maybe your extra height would make a difference? In any event, maybe you should put some miles/hours on it to see if it conforms better. There are lots of aftermarket or replacement HD seats for sale, so apparently they are not always the answer.

Deluxe Seat
By the way there is a "Sundowner" seat on the forums classified for $100 off a 2005 FB. Don't know if it will fit your scoot. It is listed as a "Badlander" but ad text says it is a Sundowner.

'08 Deluxe as well.....
I ran the tall boy seat for a bit..... sure is comfy - EXCEPT it looks like **** on the bike. I'll sell it to you if that's the route you end up going. Send me a PM if you're interested....

I installed the H-D TALLBOY seat....WALLAH!
I'm 6'3" 220lbs and I'd get a cramp in my leg with the stock seat.
The TALLBOY moved me BACK and UP, perfect fit, I don't even think about the seat issue anymore, I can ride ALL DAY!
You need a TALLBOY.... trust me on this one!
Oh, and my backseat partner is comfy, also........... much more comfy than the "optional" H-D pillion that I bought and used 1 day!

Yes the Mark IV's bolt up to your frame and it didn't take long to put them on. I however, have OCD and it took me awhile to adjust them to my liking.

Anyone have any experience with Ultima seats? I have seen them on Ebay, and they are very reasonably priced, but I wonder if they are worth it. I am not looking for a long trip type seat, but something for around town. Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked before, but I am new on the forum.
