Default Solo seat?

I'm looking for a solo seat for my 2013 Road King. Needs to be for a tall guy, I'm 6'5" and stock seats makes me feel a little close to the tank, and floor boards.

C&C,Mustang Super Solo and the HD Brawler (DG) seat. Those are just a few that sit you back the most. Corbin also,but to me it's like sitting on a 2X4 covered in leather,so it wouldn't personally be one of my choices.

I'm not as tall as you but with my Corbin Solo it moved me back far enough that I had to get reduced reach bars.
By the way...IMHO best seat ever especially with the backrest, which I would not ride without

Went through allot of seats, found the Mustang Vintage solo seat, Sets you a couple more inches back and little wider, and super comfortable. I'm 6'4" myself.

Default cop seat

I'm 6-9 and use the air ride cop seat. It sets you up a couple inches and back a couple inches. I took the air bladder out, cut half the bumpers off so it sets down on the frame, and moved the TP up for the back rest. I can stretch completely out for those long trips now.

Another option that works for me on my 07 SG was to purchase and install Accutronix forward controls, I ordered the 9 inch reach and placed mini floorboards in place of the pegs. Pricey but great for drivers with 36 inch inseams.

6'5" and riding on a C&C Solo. It sits me down and back, but I also have extended floorboards and extended brake and shift levers as well. Comfort level is very good also.

Yep my Corbin moved me back also to the point I'm reaching to far but I'm doing 10" apes so just going to adjust for the additional pullback.
