Default Tall person's seat

What would be a good seat for a tall man?

I'd like something that sets me a little higher, rather than the HD Tall Boy seat, which sits you further back and leaves you at stock height.

The best thing I’ve found are spring seats. Mother Road Customs has a lot to choose from.

HD Road Zeppelin, I'm 6'4 and this is the best seat I've every had. Works great for the taller rider, plus it's also the most comfortable I've ever had. It's not cheap, but in my opinion, it's worth the extra dollars.

Heard good things about this seat as a riding buddy (same 6'4") has one...but it is "spendy". I'm 6'3" and after trying a couple different seats, including having my stock one modified by Mean City Cycle, I settled on the Harley Hammock seat. By far the best seat I've had so far. Not sure what year your bike is, but get part # 52000003A (fits 2009 - 2019)...it's the older one. What the online info doesn't say is, it does actually sit you back an inch or so. And with the little bit higher seating as well, it definitely stretched me out. Again, it's super comfortable and not as expensive as the Road Zeppelin.

i have an ultimate tallboy. The newer ones sit you back 2 inches but not up. I love it because im no longer crowding the tank and my legs can stretch but it just doesnt fit what the poster wants.

I am 6'7" and run a Mustang seat Super Touring

I have the one above with the backrest, for less money you can get the version with no back rest. This is the first seat I have had with the back rest and I love it, backrest is easily adjusted or removed with no tools. I have been running Mustang seats on every bike I have had since 2003 and really like them for all day comfort for both myself and wife. This particular one moves you back 1.75" and also sit you a little higher than the stock seat
