Default seat size

Have a 2009 super guild custom changed the seat to a Sundowner because I needed the 12 inch seat for the passenger .
but with my short legs the 16 inch sundowner seat my feet barely touch the ground the stock seat worked better.
So now looking at the pillow seat 12 inch driver 10 inch passenger . Any one know of a stock seat but with a 10 to 12 inch passenger seat

A real easy mod would be to pull the cover back and shave the seat.

You need to remove the material under each thigh...this will allow your feet to be planted.

Just staple the cover back on and you are done. An upholstery shop can do this for you cheap...less than buying another seat for sure.

I did this to mine and also added padding to push me more forward. You couldn't tell by looking at it.

I do have experience doing this, but it's not hard.

The angle of this pic shows how my seat is shaved...you can see I've thinned the thickness of it as well as narrowing below the thigh area:

I wanted to point out that that is a stock Wideglide seat...with a little bit of softer foam and the shaping, it is very comfy.
