Seat Advice

    Hi. 
    Can anyone out there offer some advice around a suitable solo seat for a taller Wide Glide rider (195cm / 6'5")? 
    I currently use the OEM seat and whilst OK it's not fantastic over a long journey. I also have a Tall Boy seat and although it's comfy it totally overwhelms the bike aesthetics. 
    I've set the bike up with 3" forward control extensions and 10" Tee bars but the seat seems to be the last missing component to a moulded fit. 
    Other option may be to get an upholster to modify either the Tall Boy or standard OEM seat? Any recommendations in the Perth area?

    Get yourself an Airhawk cushion on the standard seat for the longer rides.

    6'7" here and have run mustang wide trippers on my dynas.
    I can easily do 750km days on my fat bob and did lots of 1000+km days on my street bob (it had air suspension)

    I opted for the smooth second time around instead of the diamond stitch thinking it would stay drier, it actually stays wetter longer than the diamond stitch one did. And its slightly less comfy.

    Thanks Big Steve. Browsed through accessory sites and noticed these. Good to get feedback from someone of a similar length. 
    Cheers

    I have a C & C Sport tour on my Wideglide...It's not a single but sits you lower and back a little and for me it is extremely comfortable...If I was to get another one I would get it with rider back rest..

    +1 Mustang. Get the backrest to go with it. 
    Will pay for itself and when you don't need it, the seat looks fine without.
