i need to get my riding position back abit, my legs are so cramped and i get tired way too easily, im just over 6 feet with 4 knee surguries so its hard to keep them bent at a 90degree angle or more for very long, i have pegs that help, but i really need to get back in the saddle more, my question is, what are the major seat makers out there and how for can they get me back, and how far is good how far is too far??? any riders over 6 feet please let me know what you did.....

A custom made seat, hartco, etc. will make you one to fit. I got one that was for a bigger man than I and it is too tall when I stand at a stop, but the seat was back and up two inches and the leg room was excellent once I was up and moving. Check out the custom seat makers for a seat for your size. I am 6'2" and my seat was made for a 38" inseam, giant size, lol. Anyone needing one, the bigboy is for sale. 250 bucks plus shipping.

I have had 4 back surgeries only to be told last year that there is nothing more that they can do. I went to my friend at V-Ultimate (http://www.ultimateseats.ca/interstate.html). The seat has allowed me to do all day runs. They don’t show any seats for the wing, but if you talk with des, I am sure he will do one for you. Each seat is custom made when ordered and they wait is usually four to five weeks.
