Police seat moves you up a coulple inches and back a coulple inches. Then add extended floorboards to move them forward an inch without having to change your controls. Also may want to add highway pegs too for shifting around a little on longer rides.

I'm not sure I understand. You want to move back or forward?

+1 on floorboard extension. You can find them from HarleyGoodies in the sticky's at the top of this forum. They're a great buy, well worth the $30.

I want to move my butt back, away from the front of the motorcycle.
The floorboard extensions move the boards out not forward.
Plus they are like $60 not $30....

bulldog,
They also have board extensions that move the boards forward.
Kuray, Ness and Harley all make them.

You can use them together to move your boards forward 3 or 4"
Anyway that will help a little and then you still need a seat to sit you back a few inches.
Once you get that, you want to see if you can still reach your bars, lol.
ugh, it sucks fitting a Harley, its like a suite.

I take it you are on the taller side and have a long inseam?

Stop at a dealer and sit on a Police Road King with the police solo seat, you might like that.
I dont know what seat exactly, there are a ton of options and opinions.
The police seat would probably be good for you seeing you want to go up too, and it is real comfy.
But Corbin makes some seats that will get you back a bit.

Best bet is to contact a few seat companies and ask them what they offer for the Road king to get you back a few inches and I would also consider the board extensions, to go forward a little.
