Anybody in the Fl panhandle area have one. I would like to sit "in" one before I spend that kind of $$.
Thanks

Too bad you're not closer, I'm in the Orlando area and have had one over three years now. I'm 5'10", come in around 225 with a 30" inseam. With 12.5" shocks I can flat foot it, and have been known to do 500-600 mile days, and I'm in my 70's so you know comfort is a necessity.  |

Good for you John,
I can only hope I'm still alive and kicking at that age, putting on those miles at you r age is a bonus for sure!

You are welcome to try mine, on a 99 Interstate. Ultimate King Bigboy. Maybe we could meet somewhere half way one day.

I might have to take you up on that. I am planning on heading south sometime in the near future, maybe we can catch up when I am rolling through town.
How big of a differance did it make over stock. I am 6'8" and 300+ and the stock seat is just not cutting it.
Thanks

Jim, I hope to visit that fair state after InZane this summer. I have a daughter and family in DePere and hope to spend a few days with them, want to get there by going over the top of the lake and take in a bit of the UP wilderness. Then down to Milwaukee to see a friend before heading west to Minnesota. The summer heat bothers me more than anything when traveling on the bike, so hope it's tolerable this year. |

If you get down this way you can sit on mine. 6' and 255 lbs with a 31" inseam, the seat fits me like a glove. I've put over 30,000 miles on the seat & I still love it. King Big Boy put on by Des himself!  |

Tropic traveler....
How does the King Big Boy put you in the seat compared to that mustang seat laying on the ground there? Lower, higher, further forward, further back.........?

I have had 4 different seats. If you have not done so, get yourself a peg lowering kit from www.rattlebars.com and kickshifter from Chet. Also get some Cobra floorboards and some risers to pull your bars back a little and up. Let me know if you are coming this way and you can try mine. I have all the above and it is much better. I am 6'3" and 220. |

Tropic traveler: Do you still have that Mustang seat gathering dust someplace?
