Default Seat options for FXDF

Greetings;

So I've got a 16' Bob and I have the big touring seat (HD) and the stocker, which I use most since it's less crowded up front. My question is are there any seats that actually push you back a little? I've got floorboards so I think I'm crunched up a little there opposed to forward control pegs, but I gained the flexibility and ability to move around vs. the pegs.

I had a Mustang seat on mine for a while, but found it a little too far back. I now have a Danny Grey seat. It is a little further back than stock, but not quite as much as the Mustang.

Awesome good to know, I've found the seat guide here too and there's a few others that move back, but seems like most move you forward. Saddleman is another that had feedback confirming moving back some.

Very happy with my mustang wide tripper. Its the 3rd I've had across 2 Dynas.

It pushes me back and down.

HD used to make a seat called the "Sidekick two up" which I also ran in the early days but have never needed a two up.

Thanks brother, after looking into the seat guide and other threads it seems the Mustang and Saddlemen seats move you back/down which is where I want to be headed. Thanks for the feedback

How comfortable is the wide tripper for all day riding?

I've got a mustang squareback on mine. it moves you back some. If you would like, I can measure to see how much and you can compare to yours.

On this bike i;ve done 7-800km days with ease.
On my old Dyna which was more softly sprung 11-1200km days were easy.
