RE: Seat
I am very satified with the air adjustable Road Zeppelin on my Ultra. It will raise the rider 1" higher than the standard H.D. seat. It's wider than the standard seat 21" vs 16" so more of your butt supports your weight. It's air adjustable with controls for both passenger and rider. Works good for me and is an easy DIY install.

RE: Seat
Depends on the bike to a large degree. I'm 6'5" and the Sundowner on my 06 Heritage sits me lower and back, but the 08 Sundowner for the Ultra sits you forward. The 08 Tallboy sits you back 2 inches and at stock height. Comfortable for leg room, but makes me hunch forward to the handlebars, which I don't really like. I'm still up in the air as to how to settle this. Considering a handlebar change.

RE: Seat
I have used the HD "Tall Boy" seat on my last two Road Kings. It moves you up an inch and back a little less than inch. Doesn't sound like much, but it is a big difference.
Bought the last one off Ebay from a guy who sold his bike right after installing the seat. Looked like new and about half the list price.
Some folks don"t care for the seat. It all depends on what you like.

RE: Seat
I am 6'3" 275lbs (maybe a little more 
), I sent my Ultra seat off to Mean City Cycles, they will do whatever you want; forward, back, up, down, large butt, small butt, you name it. I am very happy with my seat. I had them add the 2 layers of memory foam, I did not go with the gel seat... for the price it is the best seat out there. When you call you set up an appoinment, have your seat there the day before, it is modified that day and shipped either that day or the next, maybe 5 to 7 days without a seat.
