ELectra Glide Classic 07 seat
The stock seat onmy classic makes me sit to far forward and I feel like I'm almost riding on the tank. I bought the board extensions and this helped some but I'd like a seat that allows me to sit futher back and have my feet on the boards and not half off.
I like the comfort of the stock seat and my wife likes the feel of the passenger seat so what is out there that will let me sit futher backand is comfortable as the stock seat.
I'm 5'10".

Get it reworked by Mean City Cycles. Allen is forum member BadX here and has a section in the vendor section of this forum or check out his website under same name.

How many miles have you ridden on it? When I went from a Fatboy to an Ultra I felt really scrunched. Took a little getting used to but after 2000 miles or so I was happy as a clam.

Another option is putting on a stock roadglide seat. I did that on this ultra, but the passenger pillion is slightly narrower than the EGC seat so Mama might not be happy with you.

RE: ELectra Glide Classic 07 seat
The seats on the Electra Glides put you an inch or 2 farther forward than on the other touring bikes, in order to provide room for the passenger, with the tour pak in the forward position. This became very apparant to me when I went from my Road King to my Electra Glide Classic. Just a thought, but, reshaping your seat, and moving the tour pak back is probably your best option. BTW, as another member said. it will seem normal after awhile. It did for me.

Capt. I went to the dealership to trade my 02 for the 08. That new seat ruined it for me. I'm 6'5". I felt like I was sitting on the tank. The bike felt smaller. I know I know the bike is the same dimension.

RE: ELectra Glide Classic 07 seat
I swapped out the stock seat for the Tallboy seat and that did the trick.
No more knee huggin'
I then sent it out to Spencers seat modifications for "comfort foam"
