Default First couple of mods installed...seat question

Installed a couple of items that I got...Harley swing arm bag and some kuryakyn foot pegs with heel rests. The foot peg install was pretty easy, and they seem like they'll help out a lot...been raining here pretty much everyday and more is coming so I haven't tested them out yet. I guess now I need to find a matching shifter peg and rear brake pad. The swing arm bag install was a PITA. I knew I needed some torx bit's, so I went and got me a set. I couldn't reach the back bolt cause the ratchet was in the way so I had to get some torx keys and that didn't really work either. Some how I was able to rig it and finally got the bolt off. I like the look of the bag, I just wish it was a tad bit bigger. Also removed the reflectors..the fork ones came off super easy, the rear ones not so much. I basically just ripped the first one off and it left a lot of tape behind that took a while to get off. For the second one I heated it up a little with a hair dryer and it pulled right off. The tape that was left I was able to just roll it off with my thumb.

On to my seat question...Do they make a seat that's flatter? Something that will put me sitting a little further back than the stock seat? Does the springer seat move you back a little bit? I find my self sitting on the little back rest part of the seat(if you want to call it that) to stretch my legs out a little.

LePera Bare Bones is about as flat as you can get. Just keep in mine the name of it. That's what it is.

What about the c&c low pro? Don't really need it to be lower, just want to be pushed back a little.

LePera Bare Bones looks great but it's uncomfortable as hell, i went with Sick Saddles and i love it, looks good and feels great.

I've got the Barebones seat from Le Pera and yea it sure ain't the most comfy seat but it sure can get you from gas stop to gas stop as long as you don't ride more than 150 miles or so inbetween.
I've also got a very comfy Mustang seat that I could and have rode all day on. I still ride with the barebones seat almost all the time though.

that spring seat the dealer sells puts my nuts on the tank! Seriously puts me forward to an uncomfortable degree, that being said I am biased because my Danny Gray puts me back some over the stock. Look into the DG buttcrack seat, it will put you down and back and not hurt your crack!

I have a C&C solo. I'm 6' and comfortable on it. They say it puts you an inch down and back. They will make it to whatever you want as well.
