First thing I found is the stock seat on my 2021 RK is a ball crusher and puts me up on the tank. So I am looking at LePera Daddy long legs, Mustang extended reach and the HD tall boy seats. Wondering if anyone has some opinions to share?
I think the Mustang is 1 3/4" back from stock.
LePera DLL is 2" back from stock.
Can't remember how far back the HD is, but mine was so slick-it had me sliding towards the tank. Returned it,
C&C one-piece seats are 2" back from stock and the two up seats can be made 3" back from stock.
On my 2010 FLHX I went with a LePera Outcast daddy long legs for the clean look and I ride 1 up most of the time. Im 63 and 32 inseam. Love the fit it gives me along with the HD extended floor boards and Tallboy handlebars. No experience with the Mustang seats. Stock seat on top picture.

Can't comment on the other seats, but I picked up a Tallboy shortly after getting my RK.. It's adequate.. Much easier on the jewels.. As others have mentioned, you'd expect a bit better build quality from Harley.
One thing I kind of don't like is the shape of the seat.. The passenger part is wider and a bit taller than the factory seat. The factory seat is a little more streamlined looking.. And you lose the black trim beads.. This is all visual and has nothing to do with the ride. (I never take passengers so I can't say how they might like it).
The reason I went with the Tallboy is because the local Harley dealer has demo seats so you can try them out before you buy. I rode around for the best part of a day (city and highway) to make sure it would be comfortable. (I dreaded buying something online only to find I didn't like it). No issues here with reaching the handlebars.
It was a little hard on the bottom when I first got it, but has softened up over time and I guess has taken my form.. I did a 7 hour highway ride last summer and never had any butt fatigue at all during the trip.
Out of interest, here's a photo of the Harley demo seat on my bike.
I used the Harley tallboy for a few years and was happy with it until I bought a LePera DLL last year. No comparison. I'll never put the tallboy back on. Way more comfortable (after it's broken in) alot better looking, and cooler on the jewels
I have the Mustang. It is a firmer seat than most. My wife and I like it and have done many cross-country rides on it.
Seats are a real personal choice and it's hard if your passenger likes something different than you. We're lucky.
I've test ridden on an Ulitmate Seat and really liked it for the short time I was on it. https://ultimateseats.ca/harley-davidson-accessories
