I have a Mustang seat with the rider backrest. I also have the floorboard extenders from DK Customs which I highly recommend.
I am 5'8", long legs.

John, go to your dealer
They have a seating area you can try many options if you want to stay with a HD seat
Any Touring seat will fit
I am running a Road King seat now it is way better than a stock FLRT seat

I'm 6' and found the HD sundowner to be much more comfortable than the stock on long rides and it gives your passenger a whole lot more comfort. I've done many 300 to 400 miles days on the sundowner with no problem but I do use my highway pegs about 90% of the time I'm riding. The seat does add just a bit more height, and it looks a bit more 'bulky' on the freewheeler (especially the rear ) but the stock seat was built for an overall look versus comfort. Trying them out at an HD dealer is well worth it but be sure you pay attention to your arm stretch as well as your body position... cushy isn't the whole story. I'm personally sold on Mustang seats but they just didn't have any that worked for me on my freewheeler.
Ride safe,
Ron
Like many have said. A lot of HD dealers will let you demo the seats for a few hours, which is enough to give you a good indication. Depending on your needs, the Sundowner seats come in models that move you back 2" or forward. If your order online from Boardtracker HD, they are around $290 & free shipping + no sales tax if your not in their state.

Take a look at Ultimate seats. It raises you about an inch over the stock seat and sets you back a little too.
Has anyone tried a Police Solo with the spring shock? I have one on my RK and it is terrific to soften harsh roads
Tom,
Check this out.

Hey I’m trying out a tall boy seat anyone know of a seat that will bring me back and up?
Thanks found a mustang seat will put me back 2inch s and up one waitin for it to come in le. Pera does not make seats to freewheeler
Well Jack, I had checked with Saddlemen & they are developing a FW seat, but I didn't wait.
I got the Sundowner Tallboy seat & it is perfect for me. I did not like how the stock seat pushed me forward & I'm not tall at 5'9". The Tallboy Sundowner moves me back 2" & it's just what I needed.
The passenger section has a much better shape. I got it locally, vise using Boardtracker, as my dealer gave me a 10% military discount & if you spent $300 or more today, you got a 30 second trip in a money machine. I thought this would be a joke, but I grabbed $92..
I was thrilled & the final seat price was $245. I even got free lunch & a great 60 mile ride in sunny 82° weather. What a great day, life is good.

Just an update on the Sundowner Tallboy seat.
I got another 60 miles in this beautiful Sunday and it's fantastic for me. Nice flat driver portion that does not cant you forward toward the tank & I love it.
If I remember, I will post some pics.
