After a 2000 mile round trip on my Free with stock seat, my butt told me something needs to be done. I am a visual guy, so despite your good reviews, I need to see the difference. So I made this comparison photo. Looks like either of the aftermarket seats let you sit back a bit, and look more comfortable. Price wise, the Tallboy is cheaper than the ultimate by a good bit. I will try the tallboy if my dealer has a demo.
I just installed a Sundowner seat on mine and what a world of difference!! The seat is wider, much more comfortable and seems to have more back support.
Originally I bought a Sundowner seat and it was much better than the stock FW seat but still not good enough. I then had a local auto shop insert a gel pad in the Sundowner. Again, better but still not what I needed. As soon as Mustang came out with a seat for the FW I bought one based on past experience with their seat. I had an Ultimate seat on my Victory Cross Country Tour and it was a great seat but Mustang came out first and that is what I went with and think it was a good choice.

Sunman's original post also asked about room for the misses on the back :-)
Has anyone found a seat that gives maximum room for the passenger? We went from a 2014 Tri Glide to a 2017 Freewheeler and my wife has lost some room in the seating area due to the trunk opening up instead of down.
Just looking for some possibilities (with the exception of buying another TriGlide)
I put on the tall boy seat but I had my stock rider backrest remade to sit back farther so that the wife and I are more comfortable!!
2024 Tri Glide! Only modifications so far - transferred Rider backrest from old 2015 Freewheeler, just added highway pegs!
