Default 08 ultra seat, will it form to my rear?

Hey, Ive got an 08 Ultra, and the seat doesn't fit me well at all. I'm 6' 4", and I fell like I can't sit back far enough. Should I give it some more time,or milesto pack in, or just huck-it and get better one? Any sugestions on a better seat? Has anyone tried the Tallboy seat for the 08's yet?

I am only 5'11.5"s and the stock seat on my 08 (two weeks old) is not going to survive. I plan on riding up to CC's on Friday and take a look at their product. I haveheard some good things about their work and I wanted to see if they would and what they would charge to redo my stock seat. A littlefirmer seat , back 1.5 to 2" is what I am going for.Anyway, I want to bounce the cost of a redo verses a new one. I put a Corbin on my 03 Ultra and I am very happey with that, but I trying not to spend that much this go around. If I was as tall as you are, no way could I ride my Ultra and I don't think time is going to make it any better. Good luck, BRO

Mean City Cycles can fix your seat - It's a lot cheper then a aftermarket Seat

...Any sugestions on a better seat?
I'm only 6'1" but found I would constantly slide down and forward on the stock seat. I went to the Mustang dual Touring. So far, so good.

Good luck!

Allen at Mean City just completed my 08 UC seat and i love it. I would highly reccommend you call him and talk about what you want.

I ordered a corbin and was totally disgusted with the design and fitment. (I have had two other Corbin Seats and loved them, this design just does not cut it)
