Hit your local shop, they have seats you can try, things have changed regarding seats. I'm sure you will get some recommendations here also.

Yea, dealers have demo seats. Grab a tallboy seat for a try. Another option is to take the stock seat and send it to Mean City for a rework.

You can't really go back & down as the fender curves up. I just went up a inch with the stock seat , I'm happy with it, me being six foot and a touch. Up 2 & back one should get u what your looking for.
