Default Could you please recommend a seat?

I have 2017 Harley Breakout i need a solo seat to push me at least 1 inch forward, easy to flat foot, and has a lot of back part of my buttock support so i wont slide off under acceleration !!!

I'm 5'8" which seats do you recommend for a 2017 Harley Breakout?

Slide off under acceleration? On a Harley? I'd like to see that!

I have a 2016 Breakout CVO and without the rear pillion, even under medium acceleration, I slide back on the seat.
I saw something called Mustang Fred Kedlin solo seat, it looks promising.

I have the Fred Kodlin seat from Mustang and it does everything your asking for and it is very comfortable.

Not sure if you are interested in a seat with a backrest, but if you are, the Ultimate Seat (Softail) is a really good choice.

The rule of thumb when it comes to seats is: The cooler the seat looks, the more uncomfortable it is, and vise versa. I have a Danny Gray Buttcrack solo on my FLSTN and absolutely love the way it looks. That being said, after 100 miles I want to be anywhere but sitting on it as it might as well be a 2x4...I think my seat would look killer on your bike if they make it. It is lower than stock so it will help with your vertical challenged status...

Harley makes a solo reach seat for the Breakout. As I don't have a Breakout, I have no idea how good it would be.

The Reach solo from HD is the only other one I know of, but the Mustang seat looks better and I have done 250 mi rides on it and have had no comfort or back problems whatsoever. Well worth the money.
