Default Fat Bob needs a lower seat

So I've been trying to find an aftermarket seat that will lower me about an inch, but it seems most don't lower, if anything they raise. So what are my options?

Check out C&C seats. Mine dropped me at least an inch down and back.

Check out Sick Saddles. Call and talk to Ed. His seats lower you a bit from the stock position, but if you talk with him and explain what you want, he can make it happen. I haven't done any long rides on mine so far, but 45 mins to work and back and the seat is very comfortable.

After buying 2 other solo seats I bought the mustang vintage solo seat and it does put me back at least an inch, and it's lower than a sundowner seat, but you may need to go with a custom seat but the sarge already mentioned sicksaddles so "what he said"

Another vote for C&C. Sport tour moves me down and back about an inch maybe a little more

My Corbin Dual Tour sits me down about an inch, and probably back about an inch also.

Mean City Cycles reworked my seat to my specifications and i'm happy with it. they will lower it, slim it down at the thighs, move you back, tailbone relief cut, works great. My second choice would be Sick Saddles.

Sick saddles has the best prices and hear great reviews of quality, but I prefer the stitch patterns of C&C seats. They both lower as advertised. When I'm ready to buy, my money will probably go to C&C at this point...
