Harley-Davidson Pillow Top Touring Seat, Modified into a Solo.
5' 8" with a 32" inseam in the pants.
Seat sits you a little higher, the seat pan is wider for more support
Over 20k miles on it.
$189 from the Dealer
I highly recommend the Pillowtop Seat.

I am not sure which seat I have, it's the stock seat (see pic). The seat is fine for me, but the pillon is a bit narrow and uncomfortable for a passenger.

I replaced the stock seat on my 1200L trike with a Sundowner that I bought on E Bay for $200.00. I find it much more comfortable, plus I think the bike just plain looks better with it compared to the stock seat. I am 5'6" with a 30 inch inseam on one leg and a 15 inch on the other.

1200c, 2004 model with Sundowner seat...LOVE IT!
I'm six feet and both sides match, so no asymetrical accesories were required!
I'm also thinkin that the Sundowner seat is made with ARTIFICIAL leather, so no animals were harmed (like I care!)
