Default Any Suggestion for a new seat???

I am thinking of buying a new seat for my 06 Electra Glide Classic the stock seat just isn't doing it for me. I recently went on a 250 mile trip and was uncomfortable for about 190 of them. I am 6' tall and a slim 280. It will also need to be a 2 up as the wife likes to come along. Thanks any help is appreciated

I'm also happy with seat mods done by MeanCity Cycles. The cost was around a 100 bucks and that was with shipping. Call and give your height, weight and what you want.

Road Zeppelin if you like the long hauls, or maybe take a look at the Russell "Day Long"

Mustang touring seat. I had one on the last bike and we liked it so much that the new one was waiting in the garage for my road glide when I brought it home. It's just about the only aftermarket item I bought for the bike that didn't cause the OL to squawk about the price. I bought the 2 piece seat, riders backrest, tourpak backrest, and a standard passenger backrest for when I'm not running the tourpak. I did quite a bit of price shopping and found the best delivered price from M & M Cycles.

I cast my vote for Corbins Dual Touring Seat with rider backrest. You can even get the heated version if you like and also get it covered in many different materials.
