15 RK mods

Ladies and Gents, i'm pleased to announce the birth this coming Saturday of my new 15 Road King in Moroccan Gold with ABS, Security, and nothing else!

First I will need a better seat. Have had Mustangs on the last 2 bikes and love them, but has anyone had equally good experience with the Ultimate Tall Boy seats? I'm 6'3" and the stock seat is just too far forward. The Ultimate seems a little cheaper but only worth it to me if it's as good as the Mustang. Thanks in advance for any input!

Well I just saw a thread in the Rushmore section about seats and the consensus seems to be that the Ultimate might be a bit too soft for most, and that the Mustang still is hard to beat. I think I'll bite the bullet for the Mustang - why cheap out on the butt perch after I spent so much on the motorcycle?

Look into Corbin. They ask about your height weight etc when making the seat. They can adjust the seating position for your needs.

FWIW, I've seen quite a few posts this year about the crappy service from Corbin. I had a Corbin on my '97 Sporty and loved it, but never dealt directly with the company itself.

I will check into Corbin as well, but fwiw my experience in using their seats on friends' motorcycles were like sitting on a brick. I'll try to give their seat another chance, but based on my good experience with Mustang I'll likely end up on that.
