I'm 6'5", 275lbs and swear by the Road Zeppelin. Took it off my 2008 Ultra and put it on my 2014 Limited. Yes, it was expensive, but worth every cent...

 

I put a Tallboy on my 2015 RG and although it moved me back it just is not comfortable for me. It kind of rolls my butt forward putting me back where I started with the stock seat. Tried a demo hammock seat (52000003A) today.
While it seemed that it would be more comfortable than the Tallboy it definitely did not move me back 1.75" as claimed. Tried Mean City and they told me that they could not modify a stock seat. I'm starting to get frustrated. Looks like I'll have to spend the big bucks and have a custom seat made for my long legged ***. Any recommendations?

I just received the Mustang Summit today, put it on and OMG what a difference, Im 6'3 and now I can stretch my legs out to the hwy pegs, I would say it moved me back close to 11/2 inch back and up at least 1 love it

 

Duplicate post. Disregard

 

Thanks for all the help---leaning towards the Mustang Summit seat

 

But the good news is, they can move you back with a stock seat from a 2010 to 2013 model year (they fit a Rushmore). That's what I'm doing with them come May 27th. I found a take off seat for 125.00 and having them mod it.

 

We got to try out the mew mustang yesterday, rode about 300 miles on it and by the time we got home the wife's butt hurt so bad she couldn't hardly walk, never had that problem with the other Mustang seats that we have had, going to call them on Monday to see what they say, going on another 400 mile trip today and going to use the stock seat.

 

I had the same problem with the Mustang Super Vintage Tour. Enjoyed the leg room, but I couldn't ride longer than an hour before needed a butt rub.

Presently have a custom made seat, it's not pretty, but I can ride 10 hrs straight without complaints. I'm 6'6" and 205lbs, had the seat moved back slightly and up 2".

Getting the knees lower and more hamstring support was the answer.
Most of todays seats are narrower in the front end to make it easy to put your foot down. Great if you are short, but this gives no hamstring support to us tall guys.

 

I was close to buying a heated mustang summit but when you're all said and done, it's almost $1k.... And you can't even try it out first to see if it's what you want... I want to make my seat more comfortable, but I don't want to sink that kind of cash into it.
There's a guy in the classifieds section that has a CVO heated hammock for sale that he took off, but again, he wants $900 for the damn thing, and I can't even find one to just sit on to see if it makes an improvement. Not one of my local dealers has either a tallboy or a hammock in their demo programs - for their flagship bikes - their newest flagship bikes I might add.....

I just don't see why this needs to be so frustrating, expensive, or time consuming - it's just a damn seat.

I need to go for a ride.
