Ultimate seat vs. Mustang seat

I'm the same height as you are and I'm using the Ultimate King Rider because I'm no lightweight. I also have the same risers that you do. The seat will sit you back just a little and with the risers the reach to the grips is about the same as with a stock seat and bar placement. The King Rider will sit you a little higher than the stock seat even though they say it is the same. I think it's because the padding is firmer on the Ultimate and doesn't compress as much as the OEM seat. All in all, I'm happy with my set up. If I want both feet down at a stop I'm on the balls of my feet and not flatfooted. Of course with my short inseam I've never had a bike that I could flatfoot with both feet. In over 60 yrs. of riding, I have just learned to stop with my left foot down and the right one on the brake.

One minor COVID-19 issue...

Ultimate Seats production plant is in Canada, Steve 0080 mentioned to us during the Rally that Ultimate was having problems getting inventory because the Canadian border is closed. Not sure if things have changed in the past few days.

Doesn't Ultimate also have facilities in Daytona Beach, or is that just a retail store?

I have personally walked through this location, It was and is currently a Retail location. All of their USA customers receive seats from this location once they arrive from their Canadian production factory. That is what Les the owner of Ultimate explained to me when he personally gave me a tour of his Retail Store a few years ago. The back is just a warehouse for inventory, apparently it is currently empty from what Steve stated. If they started manufacturing out of their retail location, that is news to me. There were no materials, no sewing machines nor supplies for manufacturing when Les gave me the tour.
