I have the standard Outcast on my Road King, it's a little lower than stock and back maybe a tiny bit. I tried the Daddy Long Legs Outcast and at 6" 32" inseam it was way too far back form me.

I was originally looking at the the Monterey to replace my Mustang Vintage Solo, but I wanted to really change up the look and looked at both the Daytona Sport (too narrow @ 12.5" wide) and ultimately the Outcast.

The Monterey is 15" wide, same as the Outcast. The Outcast doesn't have a much lower back support without the backrest. The Monterey appears quite supportive and I think it's got a very nice lumbar support from the pics.

Lepera is very helpful, I'd suggest giving them a call...

Here's my Outcast from an angle where you can see there's some, but not a lot of back support. The backrest is awesome, I'm finding that I prefer to ride with it on all_the_time!

Great thanks for the reply.Tried a saddlemen step up seat and that seat raised me up to much and pushed me to forward and made the bars and windshield not work to well for me.Have the aviator solo on like it but looking for something a little different

I will not be much help for you, but I do have Monterey from LePera. It is perfect for me. I was really afraid that it would be too firm for my ***, but so far, so good! The lumbar support is pretty good on it as you can see from the pictures. I almost went with the Aviator, but I was told that it has less padding that Monterey.

Try giving LePera a call. They are very helpful in taking some measurements for you. If you buy direct, they can slightly modify the seat to bring you closer or back some if need be.

I have the Aviator on my Sporty, and had them cushion the back a bit about 1/2 inch. Same for the Monterey for my King.
