Smile flhtkl

So I'm short and I know it. The fix is, 2017 FLHTKL and I love the bike. I had a 09 flhx and it worked but----- it didn't. So with that being said I am looking to buy a seat that will go with the bike when I take off the tour pak, I ride to work and don't need it when its just me. I want to put on a solo or something close to it but since this seat is really cut down finding something that is a good replacement is becoming a task. I really would like feed back from anyone that is short and has come up with a good solution to the problem. I need to keep the feet flat on the ground!!!!!

Mean City Cycles in NC does seat mods. The have different mods with some lowering you up to 3" on your stock seat as well as moving you forward some if needed.

I'm planning on doing this in a few months. I'm a little on the short side too.
