I am on the verge of buying my first Harley!! and I "love" the Cross Bones but only "like" the seat. I am 6'2 but my legs and arms are long! I am wondering if going with a Brawler seat would give me any more length?
And if anyone has suggestions of other seats that would be great!
In my opinion, the H-D standard solo seat (52004-25) with the seat pivot bracket and spring support bracket in the full rearward position and stock 3" springs will provide the most leg room. Have the dealer move the stock seat full back to try it out. The std solo seat will give you about another inch rearward and down. -JT
I think its a little better, but everyone seems to have there own opinion when it comes to seats. Maybe some others with the seat will provide there opinions too.
The stock seat can be moved fore to aft the same as the std solo and uses the same pivot bracket. The std solo just has about a inch less foam on it, which lets you slide back an extra inch. The steel seat pan is the same for both seats. My seat in the picture is in the most rearward position with the pivot bracket in the front of the slot. In the rear slot on the seat it would move rearward another 1-1.5 inches. There is about 2 inches of adjustment.
