Default Seats

When I first got my '09 FLHTC used, the previous owner had a Russell Day-long seat which had been made for him. He is 6" taller & had 3" on me in inseam. Nope, I couldn't put my feet down.
Went to the dealer, they showed me a "reach" seat, and it was great. Still ride with it all over, and I'm happy.
Lots of options out there.

I just installed my C&C seat and it is great, give them a call, they know their stuff. A seat is very personal so everyone's needs are unique. Good luck, lots on the form regards seats.

Which Mustang seat? I've been looking at The Super Touring, for the 1" back,(and maybe a little lower) but I've been hearing good things about the Hammock too. I was liking the Saddlemen until I heard about workmanship problems.
