help with moving forward on my 10 fxdc
 
I am a little too far back from the bars & foot controls for my liking on my 2010 superglide custom looking for some options, any suggestions? Any seats that are comfortable but move you forward? I only need about 3 inches..Thanks for the help

I just put a reduced reach seat on a 2008 fxd made quite a bit of difference, moves you forward, never measured it but there is a big difference, someone said the touring seat also moves you forward and down, I also have a sundowner seat it moves you up a little but not forward at all. good luck with the seats been through 6 trying to find the right one everyone is a little different,

I had a reduced reach seat and it definitely moves you forward. But after a while it would make my backside hurt because the padding was too firm.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. Have you put many miles on with the reduced reach seat?

Thanks, that's what I am concerned about...

agree with bd it is a very firm seat ,only have short runs on it no long trips, back and forth to work 36 miles, in ohio and the weather is changing here might be a while till I can get a long run. like the looks of the seat bd has in picture is it forward like the reduced reach.

Do you have forward controls?

Reduced reach forward controls allow you to use a comfortable non nut crushing seat. They aren't available for pre-06 Dynas, so I was left to experiment with seats like jojo2dog. I finally settled on a low profile La Pera Silhouette Deluxe seat. It made the difference for me without having to go with the aforementioned nut crusher.

Yes I do have forwards. Odd part is on the fat bob and FXDL I reach fine but the FXDC is like someone moved the seat back too far for the short guy

Where are you located?

I have what you need and we are close to each other.
:D
