Hi people ,i was wondering if anyone with a might be able to help me with my problem.I just purchased a 08 low rider of which i really love,but the only problem is the seat,I am just to far forward and my legs on the mid controls are to put it this way,cramped,as i cannot outstretch them and they feel like they are pushed to high into my chest,which with my busted back makes me feel very uncomfortable.It is like the seat needs to be raised an inch and moved back a inch or so,but in saying that i am only 5 foot eight in height.I have read a bout these tallboy seats and was wondering if anyone has tried one, or has one that could advise how they compare to the originals or if anyone knows of a better replacement?Any help would greatly be appreciated.Many thanks & Cheers
I have both forward controls and tallboy seat. Tallboy seat is great for the long haul much better than standard seat (more cushion for the pushin) however it does stick you up in the wind a liitle bit more. Another side effect is the marks on the tank from my jeans because my legs hit it at the pointy end now whereas they sat lower with the stock. Doesn't look as good as a more slimlined seat either so I just use it for long trips and keep the solo satndard for around town.
travelling2008, I opted for the sundowner seat and fitted highway pegs, seems to work for me and i'm quite tall
