just put one on my 010 st.glide about a month ago. I'll post with some pics soon. so far love it. picked it up through rob's cycle supply about a 100 bucks less. still a little pricy but really a high quality seat. at 6"-3" 240 it does exactly what I was looking for moved me back 2'' + and an 1" +or so lower. couldn't be more pleased with it.

I just installed a Maverick on my 2008 FXDC. I do not have any still shots of my bike with the Maverick on it yet, but the video below gives you a little bit of a view of it. I have only had a couple of chances to ride with it so far, but I love the seat. It really keeps you down in the seat, and it has a really low profile, but still provides a comfortable ride. I bought mine from a company in CA called West End Motorsports. That saved me about $40 or $50 under MSRP and the shipping was free.

Nice! I really do think that's a great looking seat. I hate what I payed for it, even though I got a good deal at Phat Performance Parts.
I'm also happy I got the daddy long legs after seeing your video, I want to be further from my controls and not pay another 500 for extended controls! I paid 425, shipped. They are doing 3% off all orders 250-800, 5% off orders $800+. It was over my budget, but so was the bike...

If you are particularly tall, I can see where the Daddy Long Legs might work better. I am only 5'8" and I had noticably more bend in my legs when they are on the mid-controls. Probably because of the low profile fit of the seat. While it was definitely a little more than I would like to have paid, it has been well worth it.

I just ordered one (Maverick DLL) yesterday from Mid-America Cycle in Appleton, WI. Listed at $509, got it for $407. Finally gonna get rid of that cheap HD Tallboy seat. The embossed emblem split a few weeks after I bought it and it's not a comfortable seat. Too slippery, it's like riding on a banana peel.
I'll post pics & a further review when it arrives later today.
