Seat advice
Looking for a comfortable seat that sits low. I'm short, so sitting low is a must. I have a reduced reach seat for my 14 SG, but it isn't that comfortable and it's sort of ugly. Anyone have a recommendation for a comfortable seat that sits low and has a nice passenger area, wife needs to be comfortable also? Thanks!

Sometimes the width of the seat givens a false impression of height.
With that said, you might want to consider a custom-built seat. I've had excellent service from Russell.
FWIW, I found leather to be a lot more comfortable then vinyl.

alot of the guys here recommend mean city cycles, and their work modding seats.
My own experience with a Corbin $$$eat was poor and the "customer service" only compounded my complaints ( i promised Mike Corbin that I would always share my experience). Buyer Beware.
Each rider is different- you would do best to try seats...call la pera and mustang ask if they have stocking dealers in your area.
your dealer may have loaner seats.
I have seats i use when solo and a more comfy for her seat when she is coming

I'm short also, 27" inseam. I was told I can get a seat that was comfortable or one that looked good. Hard to find one that was both. I have the Harley reduced seat, granted it's not the best looking seat but I am comfortable when I ride.
