Need assistance - Solo seat brands & options
Hey everyone, need some help. Just bought a new to me denim black 2013 RG and want to the remove stock seat and go with a solo. Looking for:
*Comfort for short/medium length rides
*Moving forward vs moving back in the saddle (32" inseam and want to reach the highway pegs better/easier)
*Similar seat ride height or lowered from stock, not higher
I've looked online at Corbin, Danny Gray and C&C so far but it's hard to know what's going to work without trying them all out. I work and don't have the time to do all that. So, I figured I'd be able to glean info/knowledge from you guys. Pros/Cons, pics and intel all appreciated. Thanks!

I'm on a '13 Street Glide and went with a Mustang Vintage Solo on mine, love it for long rides. Got the backrest with it and can do 800 mile days no worries. The Vintage sets you back 1.25", though, but I'm 6' with a 32" inseam and it sets me perfectly for highway riding.
I know they make other seats that might keep you farther forward. Love me some Mustang, though.

take a look at the cvo seats. reasonably priced, surprisingly comfortable. I have a 28'' inseam, so I've never really been able to use the highway pegs for anything other than a 'toe' rest, while resting my heels on the floorboards. but, I think if it sets you back, it's pretty minimal. it does sit you down lower.
I put one on my 2010, and then when I bought this cvo, I changed it out for the brown one and put the one that came on it on the wife's bike.
here's the part numbers if you want to look into it further:
52000042 black/grey seat
52400024 black/grey pillion
52000043 brown/gold seat
52400025 brown/gold pillion
52000056 black/gold seat
52400038 black/gold pillion
