Tall Rider Needs Help
#11
#12
6'2" (not so tall). The stock seat on my 2006 SG was too low as my knees were above my hips. I tried the different seats Harley sells and found the Tall boy to be the best. It rasies the rider up 1-1/4 and back 1/2 inch. I now feel like I am sitting on a desk chair. The passenger also is raised and has a bigger seat. I plan on adding highway pegs low on the engine guard so I can rest my heals on the boards and my toes on the pegs.

I am 6'-9" and had a corbin classic solo, but now have a danny gray weekender 2up because I still wanted somethin firm but wanted a touch of give when I sat on the seat. I did not want tallboy type seat that pushed me up or looked extra thick so I got a set of accutronix forward controls at a steal of a price and it was the best thing I ever did. Knees are now below my hips so blood flows easily to my toes and I no longer feel like I am sitting in a 1st graders chair.

I bought the Tall Boy seat from HD then took it to a guy and had him modify it. He kept the seat the same height but moved it back 2 inches. It fits me perfectly.
It might be better to buy a seat and find someone to custom fit it to you then to spend a lot of money on a Corbin or some other brand. You can probably get a custom seat for the same price. Look around in your area to see if there is a local shop that modifies seats.
