Default Reach Seat
I've got a 2010 Heritage and I am vertically challenged and need to lower it. The problem is that I scrape the boards a lot so I am looking at maybe replacing the seat with a Reach seat.
Anybody riding with a Reach seat that can give me some advice.

Never had a reach seat but I had C&C make me a custom fastback that's lower and closer. I love it. Don't know how vertically challenged you are but I bet I have you beat. I lowered it about an inch in the back but the seat was the biggest difference. Probably didn't need to lower it but it still rides great. Good luck!

I have a reach seat and I love it. I have a Fatboy. I can only touch the ground on my tiptoes on a stock bike. I have the lowering kit (1 inch) and the reach seat and can touch flat footed and firm on my bike.
