increase height

What options are available to increase the sitting height on a 2005 Road King?

If you mean getting the seat higher up off the bike because you are a tall person then I suggest a Police Air Ride Seat. I use one and it puts me 2 to 3 inches higher up than a regular seat.

This should more than amply give you the height you need!

Thanks, who makes it? HD?

I have not confirmed what a HD tallboy seat will add. The catalogue says one thing, but online it doesn't even list it as available for FLHR? I'll get to a dealer and ask to see one and try to figure out if it'll do or if I need to look at the Police Air Ride. I have to guess that the tallboy is a good bit cheaper

Yes HD makes them, but if you look on ebay or here on the forum you should be able to find some one who has purchased a Road King Police Bike and taken it off had has it for sale. My bike is a Police bike and came with the seat on it and I liked it so much I keep it.
