The HD signature for bikes from 09 up is very good and pushes you up about 1" but you have to check whether you could modify the mounting (it is vice versa at the "before09ers" but maybe possible )
 51700-09 is the number including the rider backrest , the passenger pillon is 51770-09

Given the quality of the stock seat, and that the price is the same as Corbin or mustang, both with great reps for comfort, I'd stick to aftermarket before going this route.

I've tried a bunch of seats.  They all hurt me after 400-500 miles in the saddle.  And the next day,  it only takes about 300.  And the next day, about 200...
I'm pretty sure it's me,  the majority of the riders I ride with seem to have the opposite effect where the number of miles are directly proportional to consecutive days as opposed to my inversely proportional.

I've done a couple of 600 mile days in a row on the stock seat... didn't kill me, but could definitely be more comfortable! Did 10 1000 mile days in a row on my stock Goldwing seat... don't think there are many seats that woud make that comfortable... lol

 :orange:  Well Well my custom C&C seat arrived today and it sure is sweet looking.  And no more sad gap between the tank and seat.  Will give it a spin tomorrow morning since tht is the only time it will be cool enough to do so.  Been hotter than heck here in Texas.  :orange:  Here is the first picture:  Also I 'm 6'5" tall with a 38 inseam.  Had Chuck at C&C move me back 1" in the saddle fits good already did a sit down test!

I'm 6-4 with 34 inch inseam. Have a Mustang Touring seat with Dyna size rider backrest and love it. Just returned from a 6200 road trip. Was good for 400 miles on the seat, then needed an Airhawk cushion. That's just the way it is. Have used this set up for 7 years and would buy it again.
