Default Grea 2 up touding seat

So I am a new and first time Harley 48 owner.
Well my GF needed a seat so I looked into all options and got the Biltwell HB seat. Well that was way to hard and narrow. My girl is only 125 but her but is a little wider than 6 inches. So I got a hold of Drag Specialities and researched a bunch of seats. In my opinions this is the best. Soft but firm and the perfect width. Gives me a nice seat as well. It looks like a less puffy touring seat.

It's the low profile touring seat.
They say it fits with a 3.3 tank and maybe that's why the front is raised a bit but I have seen badlander seats look way worse.

Certainly looks good. Plenty of threads in here on seats and passenger comfort. It is wise to choose comfort for your most important passenger over looks, not least because when solo you can swap seats for one you prefer to be seen on, if looks are important, but your wife/gf is comfortable when riding along with you.

I think this looks decent and way better than the sundowner from HD.

How is the comfort and seating position? Does it sit you up substantially higher?

Very similar to stock, may be a little lower. The butt pocket extends farther back as well. So you are a but farther back.
