Default Yet another Danny Gray seat question

Would anyone happen to own a Speedcradle? I like the idea of it pushing me forward because I'm short. I bought a lepera upfront but the foam was very soft and would give under throttle. Not a good feeling. Plus the soft foam set my a$$ on fire. I was just wondering if someone could tell me if its gooshy. I've noticed everyone on here that has a DG seat loves it so I guess I can't go wrong. Just can't decide between the Speedcradle and buttcrack. If the SC is anything like the lepera I had I don't want it.

A friend of mine has a "SpeedCradle"; it's not so much that it pushes you forward, but rather keeps you from sliding back during acceleration.

I had a Danny Gray speed solo seat. Did not like it at all. After 30 miles broken glass would have been more comfortable. It was too soft. I have a Corbin now and love it. Good firm seat and can ride all day in comfort.

I have a corbin now and agree its very comfy but its too bulky. From the way their pics look online even the solo seats appear to be about the same width, and as wide as they are I have a herd time getting my feet on the ground. I'm trying to find a seat that is about the width of the frame. There's several out there. Had my mind made up on a C&C but it looks like I would actually fall back a bit and I wouldn't want to be even further from the controls. I ride a '00 heritage and don't have much bend in my knees on the floorboards as is. That's why the Speedcradle caught my eye. It appears to be about the same thickness in the back as the corbin I have now ant lookalike like I wouldn't slide back further.
