Default short guy needs a new seat for fatboy

Anyone else out there vertically challenged that&nbsp\\;owns a C&amp\\;C seat. I am wanting the sport tour model. Chuck at C&amp\\;C has e-mailed me pics with measurements. The seat drops you down,which is great,&nbsp\\;but its&nbsp\\;hard to tell if the seat will put me too far back.&nbsp\\;I'm 5'6" and the stock Fatboy seat is horrible. It's too wide and no back support plus I have to slide forward when stopping (not good). I've tried to compare his measurements to the stock seat&nbsp\\;but there is&nbsp\\;too much difference in the style of seats to be sure.

I doubt that it will put you back too far... got a Solo as well as the Sport Tour, and love them both. Great seats!

Denicko,
&nbsp\\;
Check out this link below. I’m also 5’6” and was looking for an alternative to the stock FB seat. I got my HD brawler seat w/ passenger pillion from the HD dealer at no cost to me. I’ve put 1200 miles on it so far and it’s holding up. I would rate the comfort level at about 9 on a scale of 10. BTW the C@C seat on Tunaman’s FB looks sharp!
