Default Need a Big A$$ seat.....

Ok this is not a what seat do you like or have, but who has the widest seat out there. I am 6'2" and weigh in at 300 lbs so yeah I got a wide a$$. I have looked at the Mustang touring seat and the Road sofa. Is there another seat out there that is wider then a factory seat. I get tired of sliding forward where I am on the tank. So I want the widest seat possible...Thanks

The road zeppelin is the largest I have seen also... Followed by the mustang regal. While I am not as big as you, I like the wider seats too. I have been searching (today) for a mustang seat for my bike. This leather bad lander is too narrow and too low for me.

I'm in the same boat and have spent way too much money on seats. Some were better than others, but I was still sore at the end of the day. I finally got a Russell Day Long and I could not be happier.

It's not only big, it's custom designed for your weight and height. If you are looking for all day comfort, this is the ticket.

Can you put a driver's backrest on that seat?

After may years and many miles I've learned to use multiple foot positions and shifting my butt from center-to right, and then right-to-left and then back to the center, again and again as I putt down the road.

How much are the RDL seats?
Keep in mind that I'll have to probably buy two!

Rider backrest is a MUST for me and I've also became very attached to the H-D "Circulator" sea pad and backrest pad to keep my jum and my back dry in hot weather.

X-2 on the backrest. Back ain't what it used to be. I'll have to give the Russell a look. I almost forgot about the Zeppelin but then the $1000 price tag may have helped me forget it lol lol... But if it is that wide may have to go in and take a look at it too. Seats are too dang expensive to buy and realize that this one don't cut it either. Thanks
