Softail Deluxe for tall riders.

For those of you in the 6'1" to 6'4" range what kind of seat are you running on your Deluxe to give you some leg room?

Thanks.

I'm not 6'1"+ but i can tell you a LePera "barebones" will put you lower and further back in the bike. With my stock seat on it feels like im sitten on the gas tank. Definatley not the same with my LePera... My LePera feels like im sitten on the rear fender.

I'm 6'2" and I have the stock seat on mine. I didn't find any difference in leg room between my Deuce or my Deluxe. I actually think the floorboards helped me stretch my legs more

I did add Kuryakyn extensions (haven't got to ride with them yet) but I would have put them on the Deuce if I still had it.

I'm 5'9 and i agree with "BLKnCHRME09Deluxe" IMO my stock seat was way to wide for me i just got my lePera "BARBONES" seat can't waite to go for a ride as soon as I'm done with my winter up grade's .
It's "COLD" as f---ck here in S.F. but i will still ride as soon as I'm done....
