Just put one on my 2001 I/S and did a quick 100 miles.
I wish I had done this 78,000 miles ago.
If you have been on the fence about getting one of these, get off the fence

I'm at the borderline size for the little & big boy seats. What size are you, inseam and weight?
I'm 32" and 210# (hoping to loose a little weight)

I'm 5'9", about the same weight with a 30" inseam and I have Big Boys on my Tourer and I/S. Marty |

5'9" - 185 - 29.5" inseam, so I started with the recommended lowboy, and it is a great seat. My 2d bike came with a bigboy, and I like it better yet. Though a taller seat, and I am short, I have no problem with feet down on non-lowered bikes. My gonads are unbothered by either seat, but the bigboy is more comfortable (older and softer than my newer lowboy too).

I'm 6'0", 235 lbs and a 32 inch inseam. Just call them up. they will help you with the proper size. |

There's no downside to the King Big Boy regardless of your weight. I always found the Ultimate website a bit confusing. The Big Boy has a high slope/rise/hump to the tank and for me, put way too much pressure on things I don't want that kind of pressure on. Certain parts went numb in a matter of 30 miles. Des exchanged the Big Boy for the King Big Boy which is absolutely perfect. Same fit onto the Valk Interstate and it's the same height. The King Big Boy simply does two things MUCH better IMHO.
1. it removes material from the front rise/hump that can put unwanted pressure on the male anatomy. 2. the angle on the back of seat that can push the Big Boy rider into the front seat rise/hump is greatly reeived. Even for the lighter weight riders, the King Big Boy allows you front to back movement. Not so for many with the Big Boy.
I've also found that doing business with Des at Ultimate is an excellent experience. Des and the company he runs are a first class all the way.
