comfortable seats?
I just recently purchased my first Harley [08 heritage] which came with saddleman explorer seat. I find the seat too low, not comfy and actually to far forward towards tank! Previous owner swears there are no better seats out there !!
Please any suggestions would be very welcome.

I don't know what seat came with your bike but I still have my stock seat and I like it. If I had to get another one, other than stock, I see Mustang mentioned a lot, so I might look into their seats.
My wife absolutly hated hers but we fixed that problem months ago.

comfortable seat
My deluxe came with a seat that worked for me, but the passenger pillion was not comfortable for my wife. The heritage pillion wouldn't work with the luggage rack, so I went with the Harley sundowner. It is very comfortable for us both on long rides and matches the deluxe bags and tourpak. In Canada, it costs about $375.00.

Check out C & C Seats www.ccseats.com they have or can modify to your needs. If you like your seat design they can modify that one for you.

The stock Heritage seat can't be beat for comfort and keeps you off the tank. (Looks are another thing). A Deluxe seat (one I use when 2-upping with the wife) is like heaven on earth compared to the LePara in my sig.
If that existing seat puts you too far forward then you are going to have trouble finding a seat that doesn't. That thing looks like your *** is sitting an inch off the fender as it is... I guess you could go up and back... again, Stock Heritage seat.

Agree. I've been through several seats and the stock seat on my heritage was by far the most comfortable.
