Default Advice on Lowering options needed

Picked up a Deuce and I find it a little high for me. At 5`8 I’m a little vertically challenged.

My question is are there any seats anyone can recommend to lower it a few inches or shall I get the bike lowered.

Currently it has the stock seat on it.It would also be nice to push forward a little.

Thx in advance.

Mine is lowered, you sacrifice a little lean angle, but I like the lower center of gravity. They make a cheap lowering kit that pulls the bike down and holds it there, I think it is about $100.00 plus install, don't get it too low, you'll shoot your eye out!

I feel about an inch lower with a Corbin Hollywood Solo over the stock seat. And it's a difference you'll notice. Been thinking about a lowering kit, but I'm all the time scraping the floorboards as it is...
