low, narrow, padded seat?
Hi all..
I'm 5'4", 125 lbs. and riding an '06 Fatboy. I'm looking for a low, narrow seat with a well padded lower back support that will get me closer to the front of the bike while still allowing me to have my butt against the lower back support.
I have looked at badlanders, up-front and bare bones seats...all are missing some component of what I want. Any vertically challenged riders out there like me with suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!
I would check out Mustang, Saddleman and Lepara seats.
One of those three ought to have something for you.
Try contacting J&P Cycles I am sure if you explain what you want they can recomend a seat that will work for you.

I think the lowest one in the market will be Lepera Barebone, unless you want to go for pan seat without foam. I found my Badlander sits quite low compare to stock, I only use my stock seat for 2-up.

The badlander is lower than stock and narrower also and if isn't good enough with the stock foam the seat modifys very good and can get you lower and be made more narrow. My wife loves her modified badlander.
