Default Tallboy seat for Ultra

Well at 6'2" and 230 lbs. I find I need to get a little higher seating position on the bike. Leg and arm room are OK. Just need a little more height. If anyone can offer an opinion on the H-D Tallboy seat I would appreiciate it. Also how is it for 500-800 mile days in the saddle. Thanks

Do a search for Tall Boy Seats at: http://www.*****************/forums/index.php? Several threads there. I'm 6'2" and went with the Road Zeppelin Air Adjustable Seat:

I haven't heard anything about the Tall Boy seat. It looks like it would be a good ride but you never know about HD seats

Go searching in the Mustang arena. The HD seats are not known for comfort and I am looking for a mustang that will give me more comfort. I am 6'3" and the stock seat just does not do it for me. I have the adjustable rider backrest and that is a lifesaver. I changed my windshield and installed one that is about 3-4 inches shorter and it gave me the visibility I was looking for.

Good luck in your search.

I just put a tallboy on my classic. I also added a back rest. I needed to take some padding out of the back af the seat to allow
for the backrest to fit properly. It's pretty comfortable now.
