Default Solo seat for tall rider

I am looking for some more leg room on my RKC. I am 6'2" with 34 inseam and size 14 feet. I have all the extended and forward stuff, like floorboards and foot controls already. I currently use a Corbin classic solo. I feel like I am on top of the tank and would like to move back an inch or more and up a little only if I have to to get more room. I've been looking at the Mustang solo. I wonder if it is higher and further back and would offer more leg room. Any advice about the Mustang as compared to the Corbin solo seats would be welcome. Many thanks.

the c and c fastback isnt quite a solo, but it does sort of tilt you back, off the tank, and bucketed into its confines. i wish it actually moved you back another inch or so though. i also am 6-2 , 34 inseam, and size 13's and will be following this thread!

The C&C solo will move you back and down and fits me perfect and I'm just a little taller than you

i'm using a danny grey butt crack solo on my 08 flhtp. i'm 6'6'', so i need all of the room that i can get. this seat is not for long trips. limited padding so after about 1.5 to 2 hours my *** gets a little sore. the seat does put me back and down about as far as you can possibly go, so for me it works. i know danny grey offers a couple of other solos that offer more padding, good luck. STRETCH.

I'm 6'3" with 34" inseam and run the Corbin Classic Solo with no problem. Sorry to hear you are having problems.

I have a c and c solo with a backrest. it moved me back and down quite a bit. However i'm not tall at all, at 5'-10" and a 30" inseam. It took some getting used to as I have to reach for the bars now. I think it would be great for a taller rider. Go to a bike nite and look around and ask questions, you'll probably get a chance to set on some different seats if ya ask nice.

Thanks for the ideas. I just feel like my knees could be lower and my butt could be farther back. I rest the back of my ankles on my highway pegs eventhough I have them set forward. It looks like I should check out the CandC's and the Greys. The mustang solo sure looks comfortable, but I don't know if it would solve any of my long leg problems. Maybe it's just being happy with what I have .... nah
