Im looking for a seat to use on my bike as well as my girls bike. Both dynas. 2006 and 2011. Both bikes have forward controls and it would help if it was a narrow low seat. Im really thinking about the Le Pera bare bones. But, does that seat move you back? If so, it just wont work. we are both short legged!! Just need input on that seat or another like it that may move you forward.

LaPera Bare Bones on my 2013 FXDB. IMHO best looking seat for the lines of the bike..that being said it can be a real pain in the A** after a hundred miles or so, but then again, I'm scaring the hell out of sixty. It does move you back compared against the stock seat. I'm six foot with a 34" inseam. My bike has mids and I can slide back and forth to adjust position easily.

Adding update here.
Trying a mustang wide vintage touring. Had one on sporty and liked it.
On dyna it is comfortable seating but either raised or wider or both so now can't flat foot at lights
. Wondering if a non- wide version would be better??
I like position of stock LR - just not comfort of foam. Might have to try just having it rebuilt with better materials!

Starting point is 2014 low rider. I am 5'10" ... 30" inseam. I actually like the way stock seat fits (without optional 'spacer'). I am easily flat-footed while stopped. Bad news is foam -- it is stupid/worthless. Got a saddleman RS -- basically a tufted explorer. It puts me up and forward just a little bit ... still ok. Mix of foam and gel is super nice. With backrest it is awesome but I don't use backrest very often. Without backrest the shape of seat itself does not fit my bottom side. I tried/really wanted it to work but it just doesn't for me. Highly recommended for someone with right shape bottom.

Seat: Harley Davidson Sundowner Dual
Material: Vinyl
options/custom: None that I'm aware of
Position as compared to stock: Up 1" and forward 1"
Pros: Better material / foam than stock. Thicker cushion, slightly firmer.
Cons: Moved me forward too much. Felt too cramped.
Soooooo hope the forward an inch isn't true. Just ordered a Sundowner in hopes of fixing the back pains I've had with both a Mustang Wide touring and wide tripper solos.

I just bought a sundowner for my 2015 LR for when I ride with my wife. The stock seat looks awesome but is horrible after an hour or so. My plan was to just put I t on when my wife rode with me. Well it's been three weeks and it's still on there. It is one ugly seat at first but it grows on you. I'm leaving it on for good. It moves you up and forward a bit but I got used to it.

Yeah I'm using my reduced reach seat that came with the bike when I bought it and to be honest now that I've adjusted foot controlles it's not that bad. There is a pressure point right in the middle of the seat for me which looks like that's where the sundowner cups in. Fingers crossed that the SD will be THE seat for me. I'm kinda expecting to have to put on further forward mids or floorboards to get that final level of comfort.
