Default 2010 Ultra Limited 103 - 2 Questions

Just bought another Harley...Ultra Limited 103, 2010.

2 Questions for the masses...

1. I am 6'1" and would like to sit farther back than the stock seat allows. Looking at the bike, it would seem the only solution would be a seat with less padding on the aft portion of the seat. The leg cowlings seem to block any forward floor board adjustment. I am not a big fan of not being able to stretch my legs out during a long ride.

2. The stock handlebars are fine but I have to extend my arms to an almost straight position to hold on while I lean back against the backrest. Any suggestions on handlebars that extend to the rear about 2 inches ? I am not looking for apes, just something that comes back a little further.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Look up Mean city cycles for the seat.

1. Get some HWY pegs - mouth those to the HWY bars, you can then stretch out and if you position them right, you will use the the current floorboards as heals rests, also what he said above - talk to mean city cycles and get your seat modified.

2. I got the HD touring bars - it gives you the pull-back you seek. There are other bars also to consider, so look around and ask and try some and see what fits you best.
