I still ride with the stock seat on  my FLSTFSE2 and i am looking for a seat.I was hoping for a passenger backrest seat from MOCO for this year but they dont have one as of yet.I am considering deep bucket or tall boy.I am 6'2" so would i be comfy on a tallboy?I sure could use some stretch.Anyone ever used one?Looking for some advices.Thanks [smiley=drink.gif]

I had a deep bucket, I'm 6'1" and and pushed me about a inch forward. I was able to return it and I ended up with an '07 seat, I cant remember if it is a badlander or what it is, it's a little cold here, havent sat on it in a bit.  If you go with an 07 moco seat you'll be fine, dont order an 06 seat, they dont fit.  I had to return a couple to figure that out.  I do have a detatchable back rest on mine though.  It works well.  You can see a picture of mine in the " nacelle finally completed" category, it a couple down from yours.  We have the same color scheme.

There have been many posts regarding a replacement seat since I lurked, then joined here.
Some great replacement options from different suppliers around the USA.
But, has anyone found a replacement seat that fits within the chrome saddle trim of the SEFBs.
Even Lepera seemed to be interested in the beginning, asking for a seat sample to work with as a mock up, then that seemed to fizzle out.
Or, is the only option still to have your original seat rebuilt??
Thanks!

mine is a Mustang (front passenger is 15" wide).  But not sure if it will work with your height.  I am 5'7".

Hey noVee, I spent considerable time with LePera to do just that, but in the long run, Christine said they were not interested in working with the SEFB saddle because their research showed that their own saddle frame (or pan) is far superior to that of the HD manufacturered one. And they are right.

I worked with a couple of the local and much smaller manufactuters here in the Los Angeles Basin to get results that were still not up to the quality of the LePera two up seat I purchased. LePera seats are top notch, and you pay top dollar as well. My two up was over $800,00 and equal in dollar value.  

My upgraded HD Saddle was definitely worth sourcing out and patterns and design options are endless with the right vendor.

Upgrade your seat with the millenium foam and you won't regret it; ya keep what looks great and it's far easier on the rear end when you decide to go past the sports bar and claim 100's of miles in a day.

Altugo,
I bought a tallboy back in Oct 2005 & had it for a day before I returned it. I sat really high on it & it made my bike look like crap but I suppose it was comfy & the pillion was huge. (believe it or not most of the things I do to my bike are for looks)
Anyway I still don't mind the stock seat & the pillion (well I guess I just dont sit on the pillion!)
see attached pics

Cheers
