Before you buy try one of them out if you have a HD dealer close....you have no idea how much a seat makes your riding experience either good or bad.
I'll check but I doubt my HD dealer has a bunch of different 04 RK seats in stock.

6'2" 34" inseam and the Sundowner I purchased from a member on this site works great for us. Huge difference for me and my wife. Just rode an 1800 mile trip and never got sore or tired.

I had the dealer order me a Sundowner. They'll let me try it out for a day for $25 and if I don't like it I don't have to buy. If I do the $25 will apply to purchase.

I have a 2003 Road King Classic and I'm 6'3" with a 34" inseam and my issue is compounded by the fact that as a result of an injury my right leg will not bend much past 90 degrees so riding position is certainly an issue for me.

I consistently ride 2-Up with the wife and have been amazingly comfortable with a Corbin Dual Touring seat for the last 10 years. We've done multiple 2-3 week trips and I have always had enough room with this seat......I also installed an easy reach brake pedal, and a new set of handlebars when the bike was new and all these things have made the PK an extremely comfortable place to spend time

I just bought a new (to me) SGS with only 2K miles but the previous owner added a sundowner seat and I can say for a fact that I am much further forward than I was on the RK....Looks like I'll be getting a Corbin seat fitted at the Laughlin rally in April.....for now I'm doing the EZ reach Brake Pedal and a 2" pull back set of handlebars......try a Corbin seat the way they are made makes for more legroom.
