Default Solo Seat For Long Legs? Road King

Picked up a beautiful 2005 RKC with 3 seats original feels good but want a solo. Got a Saddle man solo and a Corbin solo but its skinny. Needing one that can move me back and up some to take the kink out of my hips. I'm 6'4" all legs. Would the Mustang vintage solo do this for me?

Check out "The Ultimate" Tall Boy seat. You find a better seat, period.

before you look at a solo seat, pull the current seat and check the condition of the fender

I have the Mustang solo on my 07 RK and it seems higher than the old stock seat. I'm 6'4 long legs too and it is very comfy. I also added hd relocated foot boards and kury brackets. All of it added up to getting my knees below my hips and now I can ride all day with no pain or stiffness at all. The seat is skinny tho. 15" I think. It barely covers the frame rails. I like it that way but I have a skinny ***. Get the backrest.

Which Corbin Solo do you have. I have a Hollywood Solo that puts me too far back. Could be right for you. I'd be interested in swapping for one of your seats. Got any pics? Or go to Corbins site to identify your seat.

Not sure bud. Ill check today and let you know. Its older and looks good but not mint. The Saddleman seat I have can be a solo or it has a bitch pad too. Its nice but sits me too far forward. The last seat it the stock seat but thwts comfy but i like the solo look. Ill keep in touch.

Mustang has some nice new seats that sit low, not sure about how far back. Im 6'6" with a mustang solo that I had reworked by one of the forum sponsors to make it even lower and back further with added support - now its the perfect seat. I can do multiple all day rides without any pain

I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat.

You might want to look at police solo seat as they sit higher than the stock seat.
