Default Seat help

Been Ridin an '04 883 here lately with a Mustang seat. The seat is very comfortable EXCEPT for pushing me forward. I'm a long legged 6 footer and need to move back as much as possible... What's some of y'all's suggestions?

Forward controls. Highway pegs maybe?

I've got both a Mustang Vintage solo and a HD Badlander. The bad lander moves me down an back a couple inc hes from the Mustang's position. It's a pretty big difference. With the FLH bars, I felt cramped with the Mustang. Pretty good with the extra legroom from the Badlander. I changed to XLX bars, and I'm *way* too far back with the Badlander......

I sent my Sundowner for modification to MeanCityCycles.com because it sits me up to high and I feel like I'm sitting downhill. Allen has been really great with my questions and I can't wait to get it back. I'm getting the memory foam upgrade to go along with the modified seating position. I'll write a full review once I get it back.

My 48's stock seat will pull you back. I keep imagining slipping all the way off and my legs will be straight out back and I'm hanging on for dear life.

This fantasy usually only happens at 90+, so its all good.

You might try a stock seat?
