Default Best Seat?
What do you think is the best low seat available? I am looking to lower the riding position and get my feet closer to the ground. Thank you!

C & C Solo. One inch lower, one inch back. Best seat money can buy. Ok, it is my opinion and you're gonna' get a crap load of 'em.

Seat threads are like oil threads. You'll get 100 answers and all of them are right.

OP - Another option....Le Pera Maverick "Daddy Long Legs"...moved me 2" back and 1" down from stock seat on a '14 Road King. Quality seat, firm foam, metal seat pan; cover riveted to seat pan; very comfortable on long rides/touring. The 'standard' Maverick model rider position is same as stock seat per Le Pera.

Good luck...

The seat that you can sit on for 6 hours and never once think about the seat you are sitting on. Ask a Cowboy that makes a living horseback why his saddle is so firm.

Not the prettiest seat but it's hard to beat an Ultimate Seat. 12 hours in the saddle no problem.
