Daddy Long Legs vs Tall Boy
Hey all,
After finally getting to log some miles on my Tall Boy equipped 2017 Road King I'm thinking I may need a different seat. I was looking at the Corbin Gunfighter but came across the Daddy Long Legs. Style looks similar but it looks like it is forget back than even the Tall Boy.
So now I'm wondering what I should be looking into? Has anyone compared the Tall Boy to other seats? I'm only 6' but my legs are a little longer. I can stand to go back a bit further than I can with the Tall Boy but I'm not sure if the Long Legs would be too far back. There's a possibility of getting my Tall Boy reworked with some gel or something as well.
I appreciate any advice you all can give me on this!

I'm 5'11 and have a 33 inch inseam and a 36 inch reach. I can use the Tallboy, but I get enough Leg room and arm room from the Hammock Seat. I've been using one of those for about 6 years. The seat I find that is absolutely perfect for my long legs, believe or not, is the COP seat. It sits you back and up and puts long legs in a perfect riding position. I bought one used on eBay, road it for a few months, along with a Mustang Pillion for the wife. I liked it a lot, but she didn't like the pillion. That COP seat was perfect.

Just looking ast the pics it's a little further than the TB, but that could just be my eyes. I could handle a bit further back I believe with no problem. Wondering how it feels on the old butt bone...?

Le Pera offers several models in Daddy Long Legs..I have the Maverick DLL for longer rides with the OL and the Villian DDL for bar hoppin short rides. Maverick has much more padding than the Villian. Mav in sig pic. LePera seats in general are firm, good by me, but if you like the cushy feel of the stock seat or TB may not work for you.

I think that's the one I decided on. Like the looks of it and I don't ever have a passenger. Absolutely will get the back rest. Can't live without one of those.

I would buy another Corbin but the Gunfighter is about $100 more than the LP Outlaw...

I'll throw a different seat out there. I'm 6'5" with a 34" inseam and I put on a Danny Gray Tourist with the option of the stock backrest. Moves you down and back from a stock Street Glide seat. I have to say i might get rid of my Hammock, but the Tourist hasn't been approved by the better half yet.
