Default H-D Low-Profile Leather Seat - Anyone Got It?

Does anyone have the H-D Low-Profile Leather Seat (Part # 52378-07)? If so, can you give a review and post photographs of it on your bike. I'd like to know the usual stuff - comfort (soft, firm), seating position (same as stock, forward, backward, etc.), height (higher, lower), lower back support, how long you can ride on it, etc. It's about the only seat I haven't seen reviewed in this forum, and I'm thinking about getting a new seat. I like the look. I don't want to sit further back than the stock seating position on my 2009 FXDC. Thanks!

I have one. It's the stock seat on the 07 FXDSE. I like it. It sits you down in your bike opposed to on your bike. Just the 2 center panels are leather. The wife or GF will hate it. The passenger portion is hard as a rock. It's in my sig pic.

I dont have experience with that particular seat but if you are looking to get a little lower or forward I peeled the front part of my seat cover off and cut some of the foam off. Thinning it out some on the bottom and front. It really feels nice now. There is plenty of foam, even half as thick for cushion. It is real easy to staple the leather back on to the back of the seat. You might be able to see how the stock seat is shaped in my picture.
