Default Interesting seat tidbit tall guys.

Hi folks. I have 14 limited. The stock seat is rideable but too far forward for my 34 in. Inseam. I've been using a badlander which feels just right for my legs and reach however it's a 1 or 2 hour seat at best. SO... i looked at newer tallboy (part no. Ends in 252). Looks decent, moves you back an inch or so but not $350 back. Not as much as my badlander. So i thought what about that street glide seat!? It moves you back same as a tallboy imo, looks better..AND retail is $217! Bingo. Comfort will be better than my badlander and I don't ride two up so pillion does nt matter to me. It looks better with tour pack off also. I think comfort will be adequate for longer rides. Happy I saved money. Just spreading the joy.

Good tip. My wife does ride on the back from time to time, so the FLHX seat would have gotten some complaints. Tallboy was worth the money to me. Happy wife, happy life.

Well, I bought a SG seat for my '14 Limited to use when I had the tour pak off and, at best, I couldn't go past two or three hours on it. It's hanging in my garage collecting dust. I hope yours fits you better than mind did me.
