Default Harley Tallboy seat?

Anyone have one? I am 6'4" and ride a 08 street glide, would like more legroom. Any other options out there?

My buddy has one and I have one on the way. Should be here tomorrow.

After sitting on my buddy's bike, I had to have one too. More leg room by allowing me to sit further back into the seat without giving up the comfort for my lovely bride riding shotgun.

I have one also. Im 6-00 and the stock seat was just to cramped. The tallboy works much better than the stock seat, but it may not be enough for you. I would run by the dealership and have them slap one on your bike and see if you like it before you spend the money.

would like to hear from someone with the Tallboy Seat on an 08.... Neither of these guys has an 08 which is a whole different animal seating wise...

My bike's an 07, and I have a tallboy. As far as leg room goes, it really helps. But... I still don't like the comfort level. I"m ok for about 2-300 miles, then numb butt sets in and I hate it. I will probably either get gel added, or get a custom Corbin as soon as I get some extra cash.

I have a '07 Ultra, the Tallboy really helps but I had to add gel in it.
I'm 6'2" and it's fine now.
I'd also suggest getting floorboard extensions.

07 roadking.Im 6-4 ,the tallboy seat is much more comfortable than the stocker but it puts you up a couple inches higher,putting your hair right in a tornado every time you ride.If you wear a helmet then you are all set.My goggles flutter,lifting up and down,I really need a taller windshield to go with this seat.Plus,the passenger part of it is super comfortable,but sits pretty high,putting mommas hair right in to the same tornado.Not a pretty sight.

Agreed on the 07 vs 08.

I'm 6'5" and just got an 08 Road Glide.

I'm REALLY worried about the comfort level of the passenger - as she was a determinant on selling my 99 Fat Boy...

I asked her to name another guy who spent 21K on her ***! haha.

I have an 08 Ultra Classic with a TallBoy. I'm 6'5" and I like the extra room, but I've noticed that I slide forward a bit while riding and am constantly pushing myself back. I'm also regretting not being able to add a backrest. I called Mustang today and they told me that nothing in their line will move me back like the Tallboy. Not sure what to do now for a backrest.

I'm 6'5" also. I sat on the EGC and felt like I was sitting on the gas tank. I put the Tallboy seat on and it made all the differnce in the world. I strap a duffle bag on the back seat and I'm good to go.
