Get the seat rebuilt by Mean City Cycles. They can lower it and move you forward.

Here's something I came across as well. Check out the solo option and scroll trough their pics. I have no idea how it would effect seat height or position. I guess you'd have to talk to them.

what kind of backrest do you have on that sport glide? I have one that is small and looks terrible. I have not seen one the the one you have in the picture.

If you're asking me the backrest pad is HD p/n 52300560. The sissy bar is p/n 52300433 & the docking kit you'll need is p/n 52300378

I'm 5'2 with a 24 inch seam. I bought the harley super reach and I'm totally flat foot on both legs now.
