Default Another seat thread......

Yeah, I know....another damn seat thread, but I've scanned through all the other posts and haven't been able to find the answer to the question that I have so bear with me.......

I'm looking for a replacement seat. I'm 6'4" and seriously considering the Tall Boy seat to give me a lil more room.

My question, how does the Tall Boy seat compare to the Sundowner. I've read several threads where people have raved on how comfortable the Sundowner seat and I'm wondering if the Tall Boy provides a comparable level of comfort as well as the extra room that I need.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Some of the dealers are starting to rent out seats...If you decide to buy you get the rental price put towards the new seat... Call around...

What are you currently riding, and what kind of seat is on it now, and what kind of seats have you previously ridden on?
Not enough information from your end ...
That may help... with someone responding...

Can't speak to those seats, but you might want to just have Mean City Cycles or someone like Bitchn Stichn who rework seats for a living just customize the one you have. Both have great reputations, for making the seats functional and comfortable and generally for less or about the same as a new HD seat, but with better foam and/or gel inserts.
