Default FLS reduced reach Solo

Looking for input on a reduced reach solo seat for the Slim. My wife currently has the two up reduced reach from Harley but she wants a solo seat. I have been told that the Mustang tripper seat with backrest will push her forward but I cannot find any info on if it lowers you down also. Drag Specialist has a solo seat that says lowers rider 1.5" but they can not tell me if it is lower and back or lower and forward. Part number for D. S. Is 0802-0784, oh. 290 of the fat book. At any event the restocking fees suck so I want to do my research.

My wife is 5'1".

Thank you

We wouldn't characterize the Wide Tripper solo for the Slim as a "forward" seat. It will sit the rider lower, but the distance from the tank isn't going to be substantially different. If anything, it may allow the rider to scoot back farther.
