    I love the way the Mustang pushed me back, but.....

    At 6'1" the stock OEM set pushed me too far forward. The Mustang set me back, but also set me lower which--- after a 1,000 mile weekend trip in the Smokies I discovered had way too much bend in my knees. So then I noticed the Ultimate King Rider. I had an Ultimate on my Victory Cross Roads and loved it.

    Coming from a harley it's the back and down I am looking for not to mention something that doesn't make me feel like I have been sitting in a plastic office chair all day. The Corbin just plain hurt it was way too hard while the stock seat is too soft but I do like the way my legs feel when I come to a stop with the stock seat

    Does anyone know if the luggage rack will work with the standard mid rider ultimate seat?

    Sure, I have the MP3 rack with my Mid Rider. Adding luggage racks should be no problem with this seat.

    Yes it will. I was @ Ultimate in Ormond Beach yesterday and tried both the King and Midrider and I have the stock backrest and the luggage rack.

    I was over @ Ultimate in Ormond Beach yesterday and tried both the King and Midrider on my red '13 F6B. I am 6' tall but have a long torso and only a 30" inseam. The King was very comfortable as it moved me back a bit more that the stock seat, however, it also raised me up .5 to an inch and made me stand on my tip toes. I also tried the Midrider. It was better as far as height but it also moved me forward more and with my tall torso and long arms it was too far forward for me. Russell, the tech @ Ultimate was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The seats were very well crafted and the fit and finish looked superb. They had one with a large red stripe that looked beautiful on my red F6B and had a backrest to match.
    I went over to the Corbin Store in Ormond about 3 weeks ago and they did not have one for me to try. They ordered one to be built which they said would take 4 weeks. I checked while I was over there yesterday and it was not in yet. I have had a lot of Corbin seats over the years. I am on my 119th bike. People say they are hard, my experience is that they are firm but fit my butt well. I put 11,000 miles on my Valkyrie last year alone and I am able to do 3-400 miles a day comfortably on that Corbin. I am anxious to try the Corbin out. I did install a MBL riser kit on my F6B that I got @ the Ultimate store yesterday. It seems to really help with my tall torso and long arms.

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
    wildrooster, we are the same height & inseam and I am looking for a seat that is easier on the butt cheeks but has the same position on the bike. So far it looks like a RDL might be the only answer although I know from past experience that it will no doubt be a bit higher.

    The quest continues
