Default Crossbones better seat options?

Ok guys as you all probably know already im looking at a new Crossbones. I went to the dealer and sat on one.. the seat sits me up way to high but i love the look. The dealer said hes switching the seat out with a Brawler. To me by puting the brawler on it kind of takes away from the look. So my question is what are good old school seat that have the same look with the springs that will sit me much lower? Also wife will be on the back so its gotta look half decent with a pillion! I also thought of putting a badlander on it but i think that really takes from the look IMO.

I find the same thing when I sit on those . It's because of the springs that the seat sits up so high . I thought this seat would work well .

Yes, probably a couple inches lower.
