Seat
Heres a new one for you lot,im a bit on the short side 5ft 6 im putting forward controls on but its bit of a reach for me,so im thinking should i get a super reduced reach seat and are they comfy? But on the other hand should i buy sundowner deep bucket seat i know they are comfy and will that push me forward enough so i dont have to stretch my short legs?.
i am 5'9 and the forwards where just a touch out to far, so i used stirups... one thing you may want to look into is some floor boards, that would move you out further and not be so far that you can not reach. here are some shots of the ones i made for mine

I'm 5'7". I put the HD reduced reach forward controls on, and bought a C&C sport tour seat. I had the seat made so it sits me a little forward. I think it's 15" from the nose to the back of the seat. I am very comfortable with this set up. I can't comment on the seats you mentioned. I also like the floor board idea.

I'm 5.5',I. Had a Corbin Hollywood on my dyna and liked it very much. I have floorboards with extenders and Ohlins from Howard on my SG and love the ride and feel. I will soon order a C & C close solo. I tried the H D extended reach, it felt too forward. I there is a bike night near you ask some other rider's and they might let you sit on their bike to get the feel.
