Anyone have any recommendations on seats for tall guys. I'm 6'4 and i bought a mustang seat but I feel a little cramped. I've heard ed big touring is a great seat for tall guys. Whats some recommendations you guys have?

Welcome to the clinic. I have a Corbin seat and it fits well. I'm 6'2" and I feel like I have good room on the bike. I'm diggin' the led lights!

I'm using a Dual Tourer with the removable backrest. I prefer my solo seat, but the dual tourer tends to stay on the bike so my kids can ride with me. There are companies out there, like Mean City Cycles, who can modify your seat for a fraction of the cost of a new seat. They have all sorts of packages available. There were some other places listed on some other posts that looked pretty awesome too.
I failed to mention that I installed 16" Frisco Bars on the bike and it already had pull-back risers, so the combo is equivalent to an 18" bar. That gives me more room too.

The Corbin Solo seat isn't around anymore.They only have the Stinger and Dual Tour.
I recently did the whole seat swap on mine. You're right on the Mustang- it's cramped. I tried the Big Ed Tour seat and the Big Ed standard seat back to back. I much preferred the feel of the original; I didn't feel that the lack of feel was worth the .75" of room I gained. That said- I appear to be in the minority on that opinion.

For you guys that has installed apes on your bikes. What bushing did you use or did you keep the factory bushings. I installed my 14s and I'm currently using the factory ones. Not a big deal but I almost feel like I could snap my bars with the play.

I changed to a Victory 2 piece riser with my 12's. The bolt is slightly smaller on the Victory (I figured about 1mm), so I just wrapped it a couple of times with black tape. It snugged it up enough that between it and being pinched inside the bushing sleeve, it shouldn't ever wear out..

Thanks. Mine is a 2004. I liked the color combo too. It's funny, I had a 1998 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100 before this and I loved that bike, but I didn't feel like there was much to do to it. I wanted a bike that I could modify and play with. I feel like I have done a ton to this one in a few years. She isn't perfect, but I'm enjoying getting to know her better every day. I'm starting to accumulate quite a few parts as I do it though. Ha! I'm really loving your LED swap.
