Author Message   Slowride Posted on Saturday, August 03, 2013 - 03:02 pm:        I have a low seat currently on my 06 and I would like to get a tall seat for it. I have found one and the owner wants to trade straight across. I was looking over his pictures and found that the hook tabs in the middle of the seat are broken off. You can see the tabs broken off in this picture below... My seat has the tabs as seen here... So the question is, am I going to have any issue with the tall seat that has the broken tabs? With the seat move around or cause issues?   Etennuly Posted on Saturday, August 03, 2013 - 08:43 pm:        Yeah it will probably move around enough to mess up the latch over time. I would steer clear unless I had some fantastic real need to trade.   Redtail Posted on Saturday, August 03, 2013 - 10:55 pm:        Are you looking for a yellow or a all black tall seat? Does it matter what year?   Slowride Posted on Saturday, August 03, 2013 - 11:16 pm:        Thanks Vern! Redtail, I was looking for a solid black tall seat to trade for my solid black low seat. Unless someone can tell me where to get one recovered.   Red450 Posted on Sunday, August 04, 2013 - 10:11 am:        According to my local HD Dealer, you can get an all black tall seat for about $118 shipped.   Trevd Posted on Sunday, August 04, 2013 - 02:34 pm:        I would hesitate getting rid of your low seat until you've tried the tall seat. I recently got a tall seat, and while the seat itself is comfortable, the different seating position has wreaked havoc with my wind protection bubble that I had made with my madstad system and shield. The tall seat placed me right in the turbulent wind path, and I've been struggling ever since to get the same type of wind protection I had before... I've tried 2 different shields, a Laminar Lip on both shields and different positions of the brackets. Nothing was as good as it was before. Finally I've reverted back to the "low" seat, and am once again happy with my wind management. I admit to being anal about the wind and buffeting I get, but I think that the different position that the tall seat puts me in (higher, and leaned more forward a bit) was causing the air coming up from the forks in front of the frame to hit my helmet at a not-great angle, causing the buffeting and noise I experienced. I may try the memphis shades lowers that some use. All that to say that had I gotten rid of my low seat, I would not be a happy camper today.
