which seat?
#14
I have about 35k miles on my Tall Boy seat and LOVE it. I will be sending it off to be recovered (design reasons, it is holding up VERY well!) and since they are in it have them add some gel and narrow the nose of it. I have bad hips, back, and knees, so this will help.
I love the couple inches back that it pushes me and the inch or so up. I am 6'3" and 195lbs.
I have a rider back rest with it as well and have used them together for the entire time that I have had the Tall Boy seat.
Hit up the dealership and test ride one. If they don't have it, ask them to order it.

I'm 6'1" and 190 lbs. Long arms ... 73" reach. 33" in seam. I've tried the Sundowner, Tallboy, Hammock, and Mustang Super Touring. The Tallboy was definitely the winner for me. Gives me plenty of room, firm but not rock hard, no nut-squish, no splayed hips. YMMV.
I agree with many ... a very soft seat doesn't work for everyone. The Hammock was super cushy but made my hips hurt somehow. I need more firmness, despite a boney old man ***.
MCC will get my stock seat for a rework this Spring.

There are more factors than just the seat for a comfy fit.
I am 6'-205lbs and on my 15 SGS, I installed a Danny Gray Airhawk solo.
Lowered the rear 1" and have 12" Yaffee Monkey bars and it feels just right for me.
My buddy has a 12SG with 12" Yaffee Monkey bars and a Corbin gunfighter seat, stock height and it is a totally different feel. I would suggest trying to sit on different bikes to get a better prospective as trial and error can get expensive. Good luck!

Searches didn't come up with a lot of useful information.
The stock Street Glide seat makes me feel like I'm setting on a mechanical bull. I'm hoping to find a seat that puts me back and little and lower. I'm 6' tall and feel kind of cramped with the stock seat.
Anyone have suggestions on seats they liked?

C & C seats do that exactly to the T!!
This is their trademark, lower and back 3/4-1 inch.

I had one and my wife did not care for how it encroached in her space.
I did not like the lower aspect of it so much as it made me feel like I was sitting in bike(like I used to on my softail).
I would have kept it had it not been for that.
