Default lower seat options

Trying to find a slightly lower seat for my 02 fxdp. I'm really hoping I can find one that sets me about an inch lower, but doesn't kill me on longer rides. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks.

Btw, I already have 12" progressives. I'm not looking at going any lower with the shocks since I really like the ride now. I'm just trying to get my knees bent a little more while sitting at a red light or backing up.

Default le pera!

I replaced the seats on my wideglide and my girlfriends Sportster with lepera gel seats. Lowered seating position about 1 1/2 " on both bike's and feel great on long distances.

Sick Saddles is what I run. Do a search on here and I'm sure you'll see many good reviews on them. I love mine and wont run anything else. The basic Solo Saddle is about 2" lower and 1" further back from a OE Seat. Also it's very soft and comfortable. Has slight indentations where the bottom of your hip bones/butt cheeks would dig in to cup your backside as well. Here's a few pics of mine. I did a 1700 mile ride with it 2 weeks ago, not to mention many other road trips on it. No problems.

I went with Saddlemens Profiler seat. With the SaddleGel its insanely comfortable, for me anyway, it also lowered me from the stock 04 FXDI seat. I really like it.

Awesome thanks guys. I'm gonna check all of them out. I'm also looking at the drag specialties predator seat. Has anyone ran one of those?
