Default Seat suggestions

Hi. I bought a new ultra limited not long ago and after riding over 100 miles today I realized that I may need to upgrade my seat. Im a bigger guy at around 250 and 6ft2.
Stock seat seams to not let me move back off the tank as much as I like. Just wondering if anyone has a seat they may recommend . Im also going to move the tour pack back a bit to give my wife a little more room.
Thanks in advance !

Ultimate tallboy with Backrest is what I am going to get for my Trike. I have A Mustang super tour on my Electra Glide and I like it.

Mustang Super Tour with removable rider backrest. Puts me back about an inch and a half. Maybe a little higher too. Great seat and very comfy.

I am 6'2" and this seat I am selling worked great for me, and the only reason I am selling it is I needed a backrest for myself: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...m-leather.html

Diamond Custom seats in Florida will build one for you according to height weight inseam you and passenger both. You can get a rider backrest. I have one on my 09EG and had them on 2 Gold Wings.

Great seats that fit you right away.

Happy with my Mustang Super Touring and backrest….but, opinions are like…

WVrider… many HD stores will have demo seats you can use. See if you can find an HD seat you like…and at least you can try it first.
You’ll play seat roulette like many of us, try 2-3 before you settle on one you like.
A good reason I used to buy low mileage in great condition used seats rather than brand new.

I had my seat redone in 2014 by Mean City Cycles adding rider and passenger heat and it's been great.
