Sometimes a seat change is what's needed. I went thru 4 seats b4 I found the right fit for me.

Yep. 2" forward in the seat and the controls would probably been fine.

My controls were originally 3+ and I cut them back 2", then they were perfect, with a stock seat. 30" - 32" inseam.

I just can't comfortably ride with the controls all the way forward.
is that a mid control primary? I bought a garage kept wideglide thinkin it would be easy to find an outer primary and then machine my inner primary but can only find tc parts. Willing to trade if you would. Chrome looks good on primary cover.
