Yep, lower and forward a bit. Get the backrest. You can always take it off for zipping around town, but I really like the way it makes feel like you're 'in' the bike and not just on it. Enjoy!!!
+2 I have the Mustang on mine now and have not looked back. I got the sport (slightly more narrow) version with the backrest. I bought the wide first, but being vertically challenged, it was a bit too wide for me. Go for it, you won't have any regrets
mine just made me sit in the seat instead on on the back of it so i am am a little closer but i sit vertical now and can ride all day, like to Sturgis and back
The one piece seat pushes you forward, but the two piece seat pushed me back about 3/4" and certainly down about 1 1/2".
I love mine but the old lady is not happy with it, she has less room than she did with the old seat and her short legs don't quite hit the pegs anymore.
I love it, We spent 6 1'2 hours on it the first Saturday it was on and no more numb butt syndrome.
Thanks to everyone for the advise. I think that is the direction I am headed. I loved mine on the Star and I am sure I will like it on my Heritage Softail!
