May not be that it's too wide, but the whole bike is too tall, so you're legs are pointing more straight down rather than a nice bend in the knee. Seats are a tough call though. You really have to go to a dealer or bike night and sit on a bunch of different seats.
Myself, I like the Deluxe seat far better than the stock Heritage (though the Heritage is more comfy)

You might have your stock seat cut down to a fit you like and be able to keep the comfortable Heritage seat. I know what you are talking about setting in a Heritage and not on one. Other Harley riders haven't experienced this unless they have ridden a Heritage. Just my two cents!!!!!

I'm short myself. I unfortunately didn't have the stock seat to cut as the others are saying. My bike came with a 2 up corbin that honestly rode like a dream but it was too wide for me. At a stop I was tip toeing and had a hard time pushing the bike in either direction. I went with Danny Gray. Got the speed cradle. But they have other options. I got the speed cradle to keep me forward a bit. With the corbin my legs were straight sitting on the boards now I have a bit of bend as well as being able to touch the ground much better. Saving up for a shotgun so I can drop the *** a couple inches for around town and raise her back up for mtn riding.
