Seat Recommendations
I have a 2010 EG Ultra Classic and am 6'2", 275 pounds. The stock seat makes me feel like I am too high on the bike and sitting on top of the gas tank. My other bike is a Road King and it seems to sit so much lower and back from the tank. I love the comforts of the Ultra but hate the riding position. I have looked at, but haven't sat on, the Le Pera Maverick Daddy Long Legs and the Mustang Super Touring. Thoughts or suggestions? Please!

I am about your size, 6'2" 32" inseam and have tried the stock RKC seat, Tallboy, Sundowner and Corin Dual Tour. The Tallboy sucks. Stock is ok for 200 miles.The Sundowner I thought was real comfy and it was good for 400 or so and neeeded a sheepsking pad after that. I tried the Corbin. At first the Corbin seemed way too hard to be comfy. I ride annually from Northern Ca to Phoenix Az usually straight through. My driveway to my Baby Brothers Driveway is around 925miles. With the Sundowner I had to use a sheepskin pad, switching it several times to be comortable but with the Corbin I never needed it. So in my opinion and the way I am shaped the Corbin really was by far the best.

Tried the HD Seat Demo?
My girl and I tried a number of the dealer demo seats for several days last year before her first big bike trip. We ended up with the Hammock; which she loved and worked ok for me.
The tallboy felt good for me, but was not going to buy 2 seats (although I do have a couple of OEM UltraClassic styles in the storeroom).
I figgered I'd be taking the Hammock off between our trips, but it has not come off.... (I'm about your height/inseam).
Interesting to me is the seat must be ok for me because I don't even think about it when riding between fillups....
