I'm looking for a Uly to get more leg room for touring, compared to my XB9S. I've read that the 2006 has a higher seat than later models.

Do 2006 bikes, in fact, have more leg room than later bikes?

If that's the case, will a 2006 seat swap on a later model year and fit properly while increasing leg room?

Thanks!

Yes, the 2006's came with a taller seat; something like 1.5 inches taller than later versions. All Ulysses seats are interchangeable, and the "tall" seat was later sold as an accessory. There was also a "low" accessory seat in 2006 that was slightly different from the 2007-2010 standard seat. Check this thread for pictures of all three versions:

If that's not enough leg room for you you can also buy aftermarket footpegs with additional drop (1" and 2" IIRC) to give even more room.

Here are the 2" drop pegs:

I don't see the 1" drop pegs listed but they may still be available. The guy makes quality stuff and is a Badweb sponsor.
