Any seat that lowers you will also move you forward because of the fender. I have an Arizona Slammer on my bike in my sig pic.
agreed, the lower you are in the seat, the lower on the curve of the rear fender you will be, pushing you forward, I have a C&C Low Prow Solo (sig pic) along w my Ultimate midrider seat, the C&C sets you LOW in the bike but noticeably forward, at 6'5 I would recommend a Ultimate big boy for you, it will move you back and up a lil, and put your butt in comfort heaven

Thanks for the replies...I never thought of that, but makes complete sense. I'm not there is a slammer or a c&c for the 1800...mines a 2002. I know ********* sells them but only for 06 and up and mines a 02. I've seen the ultimates and not sure it's the style im after. Maybe it's forward controls time?

call C&C he's a super nice guy and will work with you if that's the route you wana go, i'm pretty sure all the 1800 C's have the same seat mounts but i could be wrong, another option would be to get with mean city cycles and have them mod your stock seat, i hear there pretty amazing for a lot less $$. forward controls would prob be a good idea for a 6'5 guy, i think there are some extensions for the stock foot controls for pretty cheap out there made by kuryakyn

Ditto... Plus when you lower the seat the padding gets thinner.
I have the Ultimate bigboy (I'm 6'2") and it moves you up 1" and back 1". When I got it I didn't like it, went back and traded it for the lowrider (like sitting on plywood:mad:) went back next day and got my bigboy back. After about a week I was sold. I have spent 12 hr days on that seat...:D:D:D
