    Looking for recommendations for replacing the stock seats and a taller sissy bar
    Searched the interwebs,but havent found much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Seems like most people here use either the ED seat or the Ultimate seat. Ed makes a standard and a big touring, with the big touring having more padding and raising you up and moving you back some. I was not tall enough for the big touring so I tried the standard and did not like it. I was bottoming out on the frame at 180 lb. Also it is very small in the front. I love my Ultimate seat. There is only one model of the ultimate. Mustangs and Corbins seem to be too hard. Also some folks just have a local fabricator rebuild their stock seat.

      The Yamaha tall sissy bar will be tough to come by. You'll just have to keep you eye open for someone selling a used one. Eventually one will pop up. Not sure if there are any aftermarket folks still making them. They would require a different mount (usually included).

        Cobra still makes the tall sissy bar. Part # 02-7750
        I have a tall oem sissy bar on mine at the moment, but the Wife wants something a little taller so in the near future Ill probably get the cobra being that it is a little bit taller. I'll get rid of mine when I do, but its painted black as the chrome was crap when I got the bike.

            I have the E.D. Big tourer seat and love it. I also put a hard trunk with backrest on mine and I believe I still have my OEM tall sissy bar just sitting in my shop. If I can remember where I put it I might be willing to let it go.

              I love my ED Big Tour seat. I weigh 275 pounds. At first I didn't like it, but after about 300 miles it "broke in", and now I can ride in comfort. The stock seat, as many here will agree, is like a torture device after about 40 miles. I can go 3 times that on my ED with no discomfort. Well worth the money.

                I checked into them. They're reasonably priced. And you're right, about 40 miles is about it..

                  I have a Pacific Coast Cruisers stock cut down seat and love it. They need a core and the finished product looks stock, but cut out and lower. They make a "potato chip" seat too and other styles. Fair prices too.

                    According to their web site, theyre not doing any custom seats at this time

                  I ride stock seats. I like the 1700 seat a little better than the 1600. The 1700 is slightly narrower in the front and slightly wider in the back. I can ride all day
                  also
                  I have a set of Mustang seat I would part with
                  also
                  I have a tall oem sissy bar and back rest that I would part with. I had and friends of mine have done the same. Piece of plywood painted black. Bolt to sissy bar and attach pad to plywood. You can’t even see it. Raises pad to what ever hight you want
                  It's not that life is so short, it's just that you're dead for so long.---unknown.
