C&C has excellent customer service. Give them a call. They will take the time to explain everything you want to know. They did for me. This is my second time ordering from them. No regrets.

C & C custom makes seats. https://www.ccseats.com
Generally they sit you lower and further back and are some what like a Corbin (firm)not surprisingly as one of the owners "Chewy" used to work for Corbin and Chuck used to work for Danny Grey, but they're very nice. Workmanship bar none. If you ride 2 up be prepared that will take up space for your woman. I got rid of mine for that reason.
Run a first model of HD Hammock seats.
From your photo it looks like you need a taller windshield too.

I'm very pleased with corbin solo, though when I had an issue I quickly found their customer service to be nonexistent--may be better options. Looks and comfort are excellent, however, and I regularly get compliments.

I've had three Corbins on various bikes in the past. Each one was awesome, but I have to tell you, I've heard all of the reports of poor customer service at Corbin, so I was sweating each purchase from them. Luckily, I didn't have to use them. When they do it right, they do it very right.

C&C Solo with backrest. I rode, mostly, solo so it was a perfect seat. It was OK for my wife (without my backrest) because she is a tiny thing ....but it isn't the best seat for 2 up riding in my opinion. But I rode that seat from NC to Canada to Key West to New Orleans and loved it. Nice and firm.
Last week I bought a Mustang Summit for my Limited and looooooove it. Let me say it again ..........loooooove it. Firm almost like my C&C was, nice and wide, and the quality is excellent like C&C. Key West, here I come!
I'll say this .........our opinions are our opinions. You could find yourself spending a lot of money on seats. I think most of us all agree when a certain seat is "firmer" vs "softer" for example, but still! Please just call C&C or whomever and ask questions. C&C talked to me for a long time explaining how their seat would position me and I have to say I was impressed with Mustang too...I called that guy 3 times and each time he explained positioning of his seat. In fact, I called wanting one seat and he steered me towards another after telling him my needs.

The Street glide uses the short nose as well as the Road King. The Electra glides use the long nose. It applies to 2007 down. Look at the seat where it meets the tank, it's like 4" longer on the Ultra.
