I'm 6'3", mostly legs. I could not ride the standard seat, way too uncomfortable. I loved the position the Tallboy put me in, but it was uncomfortable to sit on after 200 - 300 miles. I had a local guy put in a gel pad and it was better, but not perfect.
Ended up selling the Tallboy and getting a Corbin made, which pushes you back anyway. I had them raise it up an inch from standard and move it back another inch. Fits me perfect, and it's a great seat.

No way I could ride with the stock seat so I got the Tallboy. It was a bit rough on the cheeks the first few hundred miles but since then I love it. I'm 6'2". I can ride all day no problem.

I have the Corbin Dual Tour. I think the stock measuresments are back and inch, and down an inch from the HD seat.

I am 6'6" and bought the tallboy. It moved me back, but felt like i was always wanting to slide forward. I took it to a local upholsterer and had him cut about 5 inches back into the passenger pillion (wifey has her own bike) and reshape it so i wasn't sliding downhill. It is now perfect for me. I wouldn't mind it being a little more cushy but the riding position is perfect.
