Im 6'4" and have a 10 FLHTK
I also had the same problems with the stock seat felt like I was on top of the tank. I did a lot of reading and saw that a lot of shorter folks were complaining about the Hammock seat and not being able to put there feet down. That was the best testament I could find so I bought one and I realy like it. Puts you up and back and inch or two

I am 6'5" and want to be low and back as far as possibe. I have a corbin young guns that does just that and it is great for solo. Wife went and sold Sportster and now wants to ride with me and now I am trying to find something inexpensive that will do the down and back but 2-up and not cost an arm and a leg. Best I can see is to try to find a used newer tall boy for about $200. I know they are hugh and look like crap but would only be using it when she or the kids ride. Only other would be a Lepra Maverick Daddy Long Legs for $427 off of ebay but would have to get it recovered or a C&C seat which would be great and could leave on the bike all the time and sell the Corbin but that seat is about $700 with the back rest and may be able to sell the Corbin for about $200 so about end up with about $500 in the C&C...hell I do not know!!!!!
 
Mustang has a new wide solo that puts you 1 1/2 inches back and down some..thats what i have been looking at part# 76067...250.00 ish
 
At 6'5" I really like my Hammock seat...... the biggest difference honestly though was from the Kuryakin floorboard brackets that move the boards up an inch and out an inch as well as a +2" front shift lever
 
You need to at least call & talk to Chuck @ C&C Seats www.ccseats.com . He's not gonna stear you wrong, if you explain your situation to him & he can't help, he'll tell you they nothing that can help you. I think most of their customer on this fourm will agree, you won't be sorry you made the call.
