Default Seat ?'s

I have the HD tallboy seat on my RG with the adjustable backrest HD pn 52474-01B
I am 6'6" and weight about 325 but I have no *** @ all and after about 2 hours my *** is killing me
I was thinking about a mustang seat but I don't&nbsp\\;want to have to&nbsp\\;put another&nbsp\\;backrest on the bike &nbsp\\;
Anyone have any feedback on Mustang seats or any other advise would be great thanks

Call Allen at meancitycycles. You will not be sorry. He is a forum sponser. Many on this forum have had seat mods done by him. Do a search and you will not find anything negative. A better deal than a new seat!

On my last 6 motorcycles, I added a Russell Day-Long Saddle (see www.day-long.com) I did a number of 600 mile + days, and one 932 mile day without being sore the next day.&nbsp\\; They are a custom outfit and can tailor your existing saddle to fit your needs.&nbsp\\; For those of us over 240 pounds, they have a heavyweight suspension (springs &amp\\; foam) that support the weight.&nbsp\\; I am having one built now with a built-in, removable backrest.&nbsp\\; For long distance riders, this is the way to go in my opinion.

Im 6'4 and started with the HD SUNDOWNER it worked good - then a friend offered me a CORBIN DUAL TOUR (deal to good to pass-up) - having had a few CORBIN SEATS in the past with GREAT RESULTS (yea knew they were FIRM) we put it on the 07RG. Moved me Back &amp\\; Down a bit more then the Sundowner did and now it is nothing riding 500+ miles in a day - I do use the backrest for additional support and also use my Highway Pegs like Forward Controls (Shifting and Breaking from the Pegs) and have chenged out the handlebars to WILD 1s Mini Apes.

I installed the Police Solo seat a couple of weeks ago. VERY comfortable. Old-school looks, and Mustang makes a matching passenger pillion. Plus, you can find them for under $100 on eBay pretty often.
