Two different seats. The Comfort Stitch is a big plush seat.....very comfortable for an hour or two.......then the monkey butt starts sitting in.

The Reach (or close reach) is a low profile, narrower in the nose and puts the rider a couple inches closer to the bars.

Do you have to duck down in the shower just to wash your hair? Only a tall person would know that. I'm 6'4". Not sure where you live but if you're in Calif. I'd suggest taking a ride to Hollister on a Sat. and have Corbin make you a seat.

If not, you'll find their seats still give you about 1 1/2" more than other seats. Their main complaint is that they move you to far back from the bars. I bought one from a friend that had only been used a couple of rides........for that same reason.

Find somebody with your model of bike with a Corbin and sit on it and check it out.

I enjoy My reach seat. I have a 30" inseam and find it comfortable. I haven't clock but a few hundred miles on it...but it was all in one trip and it felt fine! I agree tho about having one made or built to suit...that's the optimum way to go!

Ride Safe, Mike

I had a Reach seat installed at delivery along with teh Profile lowering kits. I have a 27 inch inseam and find the seat very comfortable. I just don't care for the twins all sitting on the gas tank!

Thumbs down I didn't like mine

I bought a new ultra in 08 , i had a reach seat put on it upon deliver, which i found out i did not like it. I was closer to the heat and on the 08 model is an issue. So after a couple weeks i put the stock seat back on. As a matter of fact i am willing to sell my reach to any one interrested . save you some money
