Default Leather Low-Profile Bucket Seat-2008 FLHX any experience?

Leather Low-Profile Bucket Seat-2008 FLHX any experience? Part number: 52095-08

I am looking for a seat with the same ride height and position as my stock SG seat, but in leather. I will accept 1/2 down and back, but no further. The seat cannot move me forward as it makes the riding position too cramped. I have tried a stock Road Glide seat and a Brawler solo. Does anyone own the leather low profile seat and if so, what are your likes and dislikes?

m.a.c.

If you like the stock seat, why not just have it recovered?

Helluva suggestion! Think I will shop around for a stock SG seat and have it recovered.

The Brawler seat is awesome looking! It rides a little on the stiff side. I am 6' with a 32" inseam and it moved me a little too far back for my liking. I am sure if I would have installed some handlebars with a different pull back I could have lived with it, but it was easier (cheaper) to shop around for another seat.

I went with a Mustang on my 07 RK and it rocks. About 1/2-3/4 drop down and back. Looks and rides nice, way better than stock. Just a suggestion
