Thinking of buying a Tall boy.I'm looking for comfort at a decent price.About $300.Anybody got this seat and how you like it.I know I can spend a lot more money and get a better seat but,my dealership tells me I will like this seat.What you think?

 

I got one on my 07 Roadking,Im 6-3 210 fits great.Much more comfortable than the stock POS.It puts your head up a little higher on the windshield,passenger sits much higher than stock,super thick padding for passenger.You can ride all day and your **** dont go numb.Dont buy it at the dealer,got mine online for much less,I think I got it from Chicago Harley online.Only $225 delivered

 

I have the Tallboy seat on my 07 Ultra. I like the position that it puts me in being that I am 6'4".I have about a 33" inseam. The stock seat put me to close to the floor boards vertically and front to back. The tall boy seat puts me at avery comfy position. My wife still has plenty of room. She is about 5'8" and 160lbs. As far as comfort I would rate it at about 7 out of 10. It is not quite as comfy as my Mustang seat I had on my old ride, but for the price and the fact that it is a factory seat I think it is pretty good. I have done up to 550 miles in one day and was able to tolerate it. I am thinking about have a gel pad installed by Meancitycycles.com. Do a search and you should be able to find some more info on them.

 

Man I sure hope yore wife don't see you posted her weight on the net.(HA HA).You know how women guard that info,Thats what I was hoping to here about the seat.I hoped it would push me back a little.I am 6'3".so we are close there.I'm thinking the same thing on the gel pad.I did some reading about it on that website.Maybe a sheepskin to go on top.Sounds like a good day riding if I can get all that done pretty quick.I'm going to try and pick me up a litely used one.

 

I installed the Tall Boy on my '07 RKC. I'm 6'1" 205 with the legs of a guy 6'4", so I felt like I needed the extra leg room. It definitely does what HD says it will do, which is to move the rider back and up.

A couple of things to consider:

1. The seat moves the rider back an inch or so. I thought it was great until I decided to install a rider backrest. The base of the backrest sits in a fixed position and now that the seat is an inch or so back, the backrest is uncomfortable as hell. I'm going to have to have the backrest bent to be in a comfortable position, but I'm not sure if that will work.

2. The passenger pillion is wide and cushy, so the old lady likes that part of it. However, since the seat moves the rider back, there is less room between her and me. She's a little bit crowded back there now. To fix this, I may need to buy the Tour Pak relocation kit to give her back the room that the Tall Boy seat took away.

The other alternative is to buy a Sundowner touring seat, which might be the route I choose to go.

 

That part will not bother me about crouding her because I ride by myself,She don't ride with me ,she has allways said she does'nt feel comfortable rideing not in control.She wants me to buy her one.Pick up another for her this winter.So the way that seat moves sounds like it will soot me just fine.I have the ajustable backrest,with the ajustment mounted on left side under leg.It ajusts.a good bit.Shood work fine,Can't wait tofind one at a good price,I believe my mind is made up on the Tall boy.

 

Hi ndotken,Maybe you should sell me your seat (tall boy) and buy you a Sundowner.What you think.

 

I'm 6'4" 34" inseam... I'm using a SUNDOWNER (on both my putts) and live on my highway pegs (even shift & brake using them)... I looked at the Tall Boy seat and didn't care for the way it looked or the way it fit me...

Like I aways say... NO ONE SEAT IS FOR EVERYONE...

 

I have a Sundowner that I sent to Mean City Cycles to get the double decker so I can get a little more height. I am too low in the Sundowner otherwise unless I stay on the cruise pegs. I didn't want to buy another seat. I am 6'3".
