    Question for ultimate seat owners

    I am in search for a better seat than stock. I tried the Corbin and that didn't end out too well. My question is since they only make two different seats the mid rider and King I am trying to find the one that will work for me. I am 5-8 with a 28 inseam the mid rider looks to push me forward while the king pushes me back. But nothing in between. Will the king be too much of a push back for someone my height

    Mid Rider. I'm 5'8 and midrider is perfect. I believe King sets higher as well as farther back.

    Does it put your feet in a better position. And how's the long distance comfort of the seat

    With a 28 inseam and being 5"8" I would suggest you look at the Mustang seat instead..Ultimate is a nice seat but I am 5'9" with a 29" inseam and did not like the midrider Ultimate I sat on...Mustang works great for me......Your choice...

    I liked the way the Corbin pushed me back but it was way too hard

    For me, at 5'10" and 30" inseam, the MidRider is perfect!

    I may just have to hope and get lucky and find another rider that has a different seat and try it that way
