Default Fatboy seats

I know this has been discussed and I've researched the old threads but I was just wondering if anyone had any new ideas about a comfortable fatboy seat for tall riders that would preferably sit you back some. I think I would also prefer to sit lower if anything. I have a c&c squareback on my superglide custom and really like it, but I'm not sure how it would look on a fatboy (will consider them). Just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks.

I'm 6'2 and have a C&C squareback on my fatboy. It is a much better seat the the OE and I think it looks good. Sorry no pics

Thanks doubletap. I couldn't find a picture of it on a fatboy on their website but really like the one I have on my superglide. Top quality. I may end up with another. I'm about your height and had my superglide set up just the way I liked it. Now my wife is riding it and will hardly let me touch it. She loves it even though she is only 5'7".

Got a C&C solo and put it on last night. Moves me down and back. Position feels much better than oem seat. Looks good too. Might be a consideration for some of you tall fatboy riders. Don't have new signature pic yet.

C&C seats put you back about 1/2" from stock but if you want legroom on your softail the ugly Tallboy is the only option.
