I like the HD tallboy seat. The seat seems to move you back and up further than the description in the catalog. The passenger seat is larger and more comfortable as well. I'm 6'2", 240 lbs, and have a 34" inseam. The seat does not interfere with my detachable King Tour Pak.

I found my seat slightly used and saved about half the cost. You might be able to find a used one as well.
