New Seat
I was thinking about replacing the stock seat on my Ultra Classic. I am 6ft 3 and about 280 lbs. Can anyone recommend a one piece seat that will fit me and be comfortable for long rides? If I had any complaints about my current seat it does not feel wide enough. I think I would like a back rest as well.
Thanks all

The problem with buying a new seat is: unless you get a Harley "try before you ride" you don't know if it will actually be comfortable. So, you can end up spending serious coin for something that is just as crappy as your current one.
From the harley line, i would suggest trying the sundowner or the zepplin.
My tailbone always hurt me and i was looking for the same solution.
Personally, I would recommend and Airhawk seat cushion. (the key is letting almost all of the air out of it... make it look like it's too flat)
They are under $100 and are worth their weight in gold.
I just spent 11 days and 9000+ miles on one.
take an advil before you ride and 1 at lunch... good to go all day.
and no, i'm not an Airhawk rep. of any sorts.

I'm 6'3 and use a Sundowner when riding 2-up. I like the way it hugs my ***, but I feel a little cramped in the legs (passengers love the wide pillion). When I'm by myself I use an HD TallBoy. It moves me back & gives me extra leg room, but definitely isn't as comfortable on my *** as the Sundowner. I'm going to have a local guy re-do the padding to make it a little softer.
Most HD dealers have demo seats you can try out. That's what I'd do. Good luck!
