seat suggestions
Recently purchased a 2010 Ultra. At 5'7", I'd like to replace the stock seat with something a little narrower up front, but keep the wide passenger seat. The bike already has the lower factory air shocks on the rear. Any suggestions on a seat that would fit the bill?

I just picked up a 2009 Streetglide and learned quickly what you are going through. I'm 5'7" myself with a 29" inseam. Buddy gave me a modified stock seat. Guess what, no matter how modified the seat or how narrow, the side panels stick out further than the seat and will keep your legs just as apart. FBI makes a kit that drops the seating area 3" and the side panels are thinner. Problem is that it's almost $3k. Another good idea I read about is taking your boots to a cobbler and having them re-do the sole with an extra 1/2 ".
I use a stock SG seat solo and an ultra low seat for 2- up. 1.75 heels on boots and SG shocks on the RK. 5'8" I am flat footed with this setup.
Also look into Danny Gray seats they are narrow in the front.

Me and my wife love the Danny Gray, Longhaul 2up, with built in airhawk system. Real leather,Custom stitching. Get lots of compliments on it.Can't get much lower or narrower,Expensive but worth it.
I would suggest drop the front 1" first and as suggested either have boots 1/2" added or Harley makes a boot with thicker soles, see how that helps.
