RE: best seat for road glide???
For what it's worth, I'm a lot closer to 250 than I am 6'5", but I really like my Corbin Classic Solo. A seat is a very personal thing though. If you can find a Roadie with your same handlebar set-up and different seat, try them out if you can. Stock HD seats suck.

RE: best seat for road glide???
I'm 6'4" 265lbs.....
I have tried both a SUNDOWNER & CORBIN Dual Tour.... The Corbin will set you back a lower then the SUNDOWNER but the SUNDOWNER Deep Bucket worked well also for a little less $$$
Have also tried the Tall Boy seat in the past and didn't like it at all
Member here did a Seat Comp a while ago that may help? http://home.comcast.net/~kceder/seats.html

I have the Sundowner Solo w/passenger pillion.
I lkie the looks of it (solo) but I found it moved me forward from the stock location.
My plan is to take it to Rich's Upholstrey in Seattle and have them work it for me.
I have heard nothing but good about his shopand work.
Sidenote, I'm 5'10, 240 trying to work the 240 down, stuck with the 5'10 at this point!!

RE: best seat for road glide???
only been able to ride about 40 miles since i got my new 08 glide due to weather, but the stock seat SUCKS, badly.
ordered a new mustang as soon as they came out a couple of weeks ago. haven't got it yet, but it's what i had on my road king for five years prior to the new glide and i loved it. i'm 6'2" and 275 and it did seem to raise me up just slightly on the rk. worth it for the comfort. plus i kept my back rest from the old seat. a new sundowner plus back rest would be a lot more than just the mustang seat alone.

Have the Sundowner and is great for the most part. After 14 days and a little over 4,000 miles last summer on a trip, I was wanting something better. I am sending it to BadX and he is going to redo the cushion with the works and I will be testing it out on an even longer journey this June
