    I'm pretty happy with the ergos so far

    I've not done more than 200 miles in one stretch yet, so the jury is still out for me. The saddle seems fine so far. I came off a Roadstar with a Mustang saddle, and the support on this is just as good. It's a tad more firm, but I believe that's probably a good thing - a saddle that crushes or sags down over a long haul becomes miserable.

    The peg and bar position seem just about ideal for me (I'm 6' tall). I'd like some highway pegs or boards, only because on a long enough ride it just feels good to have somewhere else to put my feet. I do think that highway pegs will probably make the reach to the bars seem awkward, though. So highway pegs could lead to handlebar risers/extenders, which could lead to a custom saddle, etc., etc.

    Talk about a slippery slope!

    I'm 6'1" 250lbs and find the seating position to be very comfortable. Can be feet flat easily with 33 inch inseam.
    I have goe over 400kms at a stretch twice without getting off the bike without issue or discomfort. Don't see myself needing another seat in the near future.

    6'4" tall but only a 32" inseam so i'm long torso.I also go about 375 lbs so I have a large frame and backside.I like the width and feel comfortable with the firmness of the stock seat.I would like to be back another inch or two to extend my legs out a little to the pegs.I came off a Roadstar with a Ultimate seat with backreat and I do miss the feel of a backrest that made me seat more upright.I'm on a long wieght loss quest as I have dropped 50lbs since the first of the year and have a goal to hit 250-260 in another year or so.I will see how I feel then and will look into another seat or backrest at that time.

    Very Comfortable

    I'm 6'2" and I am very comfortable on the factory seat. I installed Kuryakyn highway pegs when I first purchased my F6B and am very happy with them also. I just got back from a 4700 mile trip and I would have gladly kept right on going for another 4700 miles if I could have.

    feel

    I am 6'4 and a 32" inseam. I feel comfortable on the bike. the only gripe I have is the 45* angle in the stock seat back. If it was rounded out a little to set back about an 1" or 2 it would be perfect.
