I bought a take-off seat from an '09 Bob ... guess don't ask me for a recommendation on a comfortable seat ... mostly I just dug the looks ....
I think after a couple of years, either I'm starting to break in the goose down filler in it ... or my hind quarters are beginning to conform to the hard shell ...!
Didn't have to spend 300-400 either, my good friend Tige (tweakin) gave it away for a miserly $50 ....
Good luck finding a comfortable seat ... seems to be a lot of threads on the subject ....

Hi guys,
I'm 6'4" (don't wanna talk about my weight- ya know girl thing;-P) 36" inseam I ride Street Bob with forwards that HD has in their catalog. I'm thinking of getting some sort of extensions just to change it up a bit on long rides. I got 2" risers and stock bars so I didn't have to change cables or anything- it took me maybe 30-40 mins to put them on without any help. It feels pretty good- I wish they were a couple of inches higher haha. Anywho.... Can you recommend any good seat for long rides? I don't have 300-400 laying around so any other suggestions would be great. Also... how do you guys deal with backrest on long trips?
Thank yoouuuu

On the other note.. I looked at Tallboy seat, but it says it actually puts you up 2", which I'm not too crazy about.

Do you have a pic of you on the bike with mids? Aren't your legs super cramped?

I'm 6'4" and 215 atm,I added the forwards right away in 02,the mid controls made my knees ache.I later added the 3 inch kury kit to get my legs out of a 90 degree.I also went with chrome 10inch mini apes from a WG,along with WG cables to keep thing simple.After I put on the 05 WG tank and made the new mount,forcing me to use the 05 WG seat,it made a HUGE difference,I guess because of the seat angle.I can't imagine trying to ride without forwards.BTW I wear a 34" inseam.
