I'm not excessively tall, 5' 10" but my wife is 5' on a tall day more like 4'11". I have a HD rally runner, it puts me back about 2 to 2.5" and lower by 2.5" and has a nice wide & flat (key for wife's comfy, flat or dished or concave seat, nothing round or convex, she will be riding on her privates not her butt) it's leather and has a good solid fiberglass seat pan, back support and quality foam. We ride it evrywhere it is the only seat i have. We rode straight throught to daytona this year and i never heard a single complaint from my wife. (750 miles)
