I ordered an ultimate for my '08 Road Star on Aug 7. Should have it in another week.

Re:new seat opinion( mustang ) 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I stand six one it picks my knees up too much. I've been thnking of some floor board extentions to help my legs fit the angle of the seat which I think will mmake all the difference.

At 6'3" and w/the Mustang seat that pushes you a little forward, I added the floorboard extenders and still cruise w/my toes on the crash bar pegs and heels on the floorboards for the best all around comfort for me. At your height, they're worth every penny.

I ended up getting a big johnson bar and I love it, not apes but its fat and looks really good on the roadie...I didn't want to get another set of smaller apes and still get hassled so I joined the BBC...

Re:new seat opinion( mustang ) 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
The stock seat was terrible. A friend of mine dropped a cigarette on his new Roadie seat and had to buy another. He gave me the old one and I removed the original cover, shaved off the foam to match my butt and put a Venture seat cover on it. It ended up being very comfortable and very inexpensive. I can make daylong rides with no problem.
