Does anyone have the ultimate tallboy seat.I would like the measurement of the drivers seating area,I know the width is 17inches but I was wondering about the distance from the bottom of the lumbar to the front.I know it is suppose to be back 1 1/2 inches further then the stock.

Thanks,I guess the extra room comes from the lumbar support is angled vs straight.The stock seat is 14 1/2 inches from the lumbar to the front.Do you notice more room on the tallboy.

I'm 5'11", 240 lbs, 34" sleeve length. When I sat on the tall boy seat, my arms fit perfectly on the handlebars. My wife is 5'3", 160 lbs. She is very comfortable in the rear seat with the backrest in. At this point in time, the Ultimate seat and the BajaRon's anti sway bar are the best extras I have purchased.

I'm not a tall person, but I have a fat butt and the stock seat placed me too far forward. It's amazing how a small change can sometimes make a big difference.

I'm 5'10", 200 lbs, but I'm extremely stiff and need to keep my legs out in front as much as possible. I have the tallboy and it fits me very well - my feet are where they're supposed to be and my arms are perfectly positioned for the stock handlebars.

My wife is 5'6" and thin. I ordered the Ultimate rear backrest to give her just a bit more room and she fits just fine.

I just installed a Tallboy on my 2015 RT-S Special Series. My wife and I did a 200-mile ride Saturday, and I absolutely loved it! The riding position was quite different, but it didn't take much to get used to.

Even with my wife on board, I used the driver backrest. She said it was okay, and I surely enjoyed it. It wasn't as far back as it would be if she weren't on the back, but it was still farther back than the stock seat.

I'm 6'2", 270 lbs, and my wife is 5'6" and as delicate as a flower! 😇

Love, Love, LOVE it!
