Default Comfortable Seat for Tall Rider with Passenger

Looking for a comfortable seat for my 00 883c. I am 6'2" and find that my tail bone rides pretty hard on the hump of the stock seat. Does any of the aftermarket seats sit the rider back anyfarther or offer more support in the "hump" area.

Do a search on this forum and you'll find plenty of info and opinions about seats. Needless to say, a padded 2x4 would be about as comfortable as the stock seat. I've got the Sundowner and it's very comfortable, for both rider and passenger. But there are many others out there, as you will see from the search on the subject.

Im 6'4" and like the mustang vintage. I have the solo, but it comes with a pad for two up. You might check the mustang and corbin sights, they have many after market products.
