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.  :cooldude:

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 can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

About the same height but does sit me a little 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?
Thanks,
