Seat advice 6'3 with 34' inseam

[maxrider]

I chime in for you, 6'4", 235, 35 inseam,size 15 boot, just purchased a Russell Day Long seat system.

Great improvement over stock, like day and night,with leather option and built in back rest fully adjustable.

Pricey for some, but priceless in comfort.Drove 720 mile one way to get fitted and it was well worth it.

Went to San Diego to DHS and had him (Dan Sherbourne) install for me one of his custom shifter linkage, which provides you with a noticeable shorter and crisper shifting(removes the slop) and raised the height of the shifter measured from the ground to bottom of shifter at 11" to 12".

There is a possibility to do more in the raising of shifter height, but for now I'm going to try this out.

That and a 20" Madstad shield, when it get here I expect that to cure my noise issue, I had a 15" Madstad shield but it was not to conducive for my height and needs.

Might consider the drop down pegs as a experiment in the future, but hate to give up ground clearance, twisty person.

Hope this helps in your quest.

At 6'5" 400lb and a 36" inseam there is only one saddle I'll ride and fits me perfectly... that is a custom fitted Russell Day-Long https://www.day-long.com/ I have made a few post about them so I won't boor the rest of the guys & gals again, but if you do a search of my post you will know how much I love my RDL and why I have been ridding them for over 35 years and have had one made for most every steel steed I have owned.

I'm 6'2" and 220 with 34" inseam.

Riding with many kinds of bikes and for many years.

I've had a bunch of saddles, too. Some local custom, others what you've seen here. And, actually, some work better on some bikes than others. My VTX1300 with a Mustang/rider backrest was great. Not so much on another bike.

My 2001 Wing has an Ultimate saddle. Not cheap, but very well made and quite comfy for me out of the box. So much so that I ordered and installed one on the F6B. I like it a great deal. I'd give them a dial and speak with Dez to see what you are interested in having done.

Google with give you the website.

BTW, i have a '13 Street Glide and I don't feel I sit "in the bike" any more than I do with the 6 and the Ultimate.

I echo the Ultimate King. Super comfy, you sit in it not on it, and get extra leg room. I'm 6'1" with long legs and arms, and it's perfect for me.

Hi...figured with 35yrs of RDL experience you might be able to answer a question. I need more room in the cockpit. Does the RDL move you back and if so how much. Lots of folks on here use the Ultimate King and when I called Ultimate they said it puts you back 1.5". Not sure if thats enough. Thanks a lot!

Its my understanding RDL will move you back as far as you desire....You can also move your bars forward,out,in,or back with a spacer kit from someone on this Forum. I forget who but Steve can tell you.. I think they are better than Kuryakyn.....Dickie

RDL saddles are a truly custom made saddle, no two are alike, they are made to fit you and your anatomical requirements and can set you back as much as you want or at lest until you run out of seat pan to build on and as far up... well the sky is the limit, on one of my Runes the RDL on it is over 8" high from stock. The RDL on my F6B is 4" up and 3" back, a perfect fit for my 6'5" 400 lb., 36" inseam frame.
