I have the TallBoy seat and it is very comfortable for me, and for my wife. Be aware, however, that it steals those 2 inches it gives you from your passenger. My wife is petite (5'2" and a buck ten) so it's fine for her, but it might not be for everyone.

I coupled that with floorboard extensions from harleygoodies.com and highway pegs and my RKC is comfortable for me now. It is not the same position I had with forward controls on the Sporty, so it is still a different position, but not uncomfortable.

I bought a SG Big Blue Pearl about a month ago. Great color! I'm 6'4" so have same problem. I put on the Tallboy seat and harleygoodies extension which helps alot. I also have an airhawk seat cushion which lifts me up about an inch which also seems to help, especially on longer rides.

Default Adjustment Bureau

I ride 2 up almost all the time.

The leg set up as the folks here have said is very important to comfort.

I recently acquired a new seat and apes and it's a combination of those things that adjust your room, reach and so on; the ergonomics.

I was set on getting the cushiest seats and all that but the lady at Mustang said it was the wrong set up for me based on my in seam and wing span. I was surprised at this and she sold me the super touring four piece which was a downgrade in price from the one I wanted but was the right one for me based on ergonomics.

I ride for 12 hours at a stretch (with a few breaks of course) almost every day I can and I'm comfortable and pain free based on highway pegs and floorboards as discussed, and 16 inch apes and my super touring Mustang seat. I'm 6"2.

Getting the right ergonomics for your frame is going to involve speaking with people who know and doing your research. People on here helped tremendously with mine.
