Yeah thanks for the replies. I put the 2" rise bars on, now I kinda feel bunched up. I thought maybe the seat would be a happy middle ground. I know I am asking a lot to have someone w/ a similar scenario.

Just replies on the seat is very helpful, being I already invested in the bars.

Good Question, I have been wondering how the Tall Boy seat would work too.

I'm 6"3 with 35" inseam. I've had the Tallboy seat on both my 07 and 09 Ultra. They really help me stretch my legs, but I find the seat to be uncomfortable after about 300 miles, even after having a gel pad installed.

Mine will prolly go up for sale as soon as my Corbin comes in.

Yes on the george Anderson relocater kit. had one on my 05 Ultra with a Tallboy seat, and will put on on mu 09 Ultra also with the tallboy seat. No problems with room for the better half

I suppose you could tell her she looks hot in that seat...that should warm her seat.

Thanks for all the responses.

Is there any other companies that makes a Tall man's seat?

I have the Tallboy and i'm fairly happy with it, but it's different from the '07 version so I can't tell you what to do. Mine does take me back 2 inches and down 1 inch...if it was 3 back and down 1 1/2 it would be perfect, but you can't have it all. My passenger lost some room but if that bothers her she can walk.

I have had a tallboy seat for about a year... it gave me more leg room and my wife likes it way more than she did the stock seat.
