Default Softails sit lower than Dynas?

So guys with my WG it feels like I sit on top of it not in it and low. I pulled the mustang seat off and sat right on the frame. It felt perfect aside from the sore butt lol. The lower in the bike feel was dead on what I want. I was looking at some softail customs in the same vintage as my WG and it looks to me their seat is a lot lower in the bike and to me that would be a lot more comfy. Is my assumption right and if so anyone want a dyna WG? Only has 15k on it.....

Yep I know exactly what you mean. I love how the Lepera Barebones seat lowers me and puts me in the perfect position. Only bad thing is it ain't all that comfortable. My Mustang seat however is very comfortable but yea it sits me up too damn high.

The perfect seat would be a seat with the lowness of the Lepera Barebones with the comfort of the Mustang Vintage Solo.

Well good its not all in my head lol. I will have to get a bare bones! So to me though the softails still look more dished out in the seat area. Like there seat area slants back pike on a ridged frame would. That's how I want to sit. Thanks all for your insight!

Look into the C&C lopro solo seat. It sits me lower in the bike so I feel like I am sitting in the bike and not on top of it. It's pretty good comfort wise for a low profile seat.
