Default Low seat for limited

Hello. I was hoping to get some input from members on the forum regarding a seat for my 2015 limited. I know there are quite a few threads on seats already but my question is, what would you guys recommend for a seat that would put me a little closer to the ground and a little further back than the stock limited seat? I'm 5'-9" tall and 160lbs. I haven't tried any loaner seats yet and didn't know if a seat for a limited low would be a good choice or if that would move me further forward. Thanks for input and suggestions.

The Limited "Low" seat would lower you a little, but it will also set you closer to the tank and not farther back.

Road King seat will lower You 3/4 inch.I rode with a Road King seat for two Limiteds before I had the stock seat modified.I bought a 2012 Road King seat brand new from Dealer for $200.00 in 2012.Cheap compared to reduced reach seats.

Thank you. Regarding the limited low seat, that's what I was afraid of but wasn't certain about it. Would the Road King seat work with the Tour Pack? Would any of the other seats that Harley offers accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thank you whocares. I saw that too when I was in there a few weeks ago. I just wasn't sure which one to try and didn't take the time to ask the staff. Guess I need to go back over and talk to them. I just think it would be nice to be a little lower to the ground. Would make it easier to back the bike up, etc.

You can always try a newer roadglide or streetglide seat.they will definitely lower you and put you back some. they're easy to find.I seen them priced at $100 and up.

As noted the Low seat will move you down & forward, it's also way narrower on the sides which helps your feet reach the ground.

Problem is it gives you kind of a reverse wedgie, not good. It's also like your *** is sitting on the frame rails.

But, it does what it's supposed to do, there's no free lunch.
