What Seat???
What Seat???
I'm getting an '11 Street Glide in a couple of days, and I need info on what seat will be best for me. I'm 6'8" so I need to be as far back as I can get but don't want to be any higher, actually I like being "in the bike" low. Anybody have any suggestions?

If you're looking for a solo seat check out Danny Gray "The Big Seat". It is very firm, so it may take some getting used to it. It's about $325 from Danny Gray's website (I think).

I like that, but it just looks like it pushes too far forward...A buddy of mine has the "Brawler" which is perfect but it doesn't have a passenger pilon. I'm really trying to find a 2up version of that.

You should talk to Chuck at C&C seats. Good ol', no BS kind'a guy. If he can help you he'll tell you, if he can't he'll tell you that too! They custom cut the foam for customers regularly and give forum member discounts. Might want to look at HD's extended floorboards, moves the floorboards forward about 1" & made a difference for me. Several options for moving the floorboards outward also, another big help for taller riders. Here's a pic that shows how far back my C&C Sport Tour seat sets me back.
