The Tall Boy is NOT a good choice. I had the same problem you have with my 2008 Ultra and put the Tall Boy on it. You are not sitting on the tank anymore but the seat is very uncomfortable. I got an Ultimate Seat and I do not think there can be a more comfortable seat. You can get it with an adjustable backrest as well.

Regardless, if your not happy with the seat, call MCC about it. They are GREAT to work with and will do everything they can to make it right.

just got my 09 ultra, love the bike, like the seat but is the sun downer a better ride??
Catalog says it has more padding but it didn't look like it to me. I would like to stay with a harley seat because the dealer will trade the stock seat out.

No hot seat, monkey butt, or tail bone problems. IMO best 300.00 spent. After having the stock seat and then the sundowner, I tend to think that the foam is different. My dealer wouldn't trade out the stock seat, just by the new one if you want it. They did let me install and take it for a ride before buying.
My 2cents.
