I've enjoyed reading the forum over the last month as I pulled the trigger on my first Harley - 01 FLHTCUI - I am itching to get out and ride!

I would appreciate any advice on seats and other mods to accommodate my 6'8" frame, while keeping the boss-lady in the back happy. I've already ordered floorboard and brake/heal-toe shifter extensions which I doubt will offer that much relief, but they were a great price. I think the next thing I'll do is replace the seat. I imagine part of this mod will be moving the tourpak back.
