Question Seat suggestions?

First time Harley owner here! Just got an 07 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Has the seat pictured. I am 5'9", the wife is 5'7". When riding, she says she cannot see over the top of my head, which was not an issue on our last bike (2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500)

I'm going to assume there might be a seat option that could fix that?

Thanks in advance!

you could always have your seat modified. Get your spot lowered and hers kept the same. Plus better foam for both. Win win win....

My wife doesn’t see over my head, you’ll have to get it modified I think...We run a Mustang Super Tour. I’m 6’1”, she’s 5’4”.
Look at LePera...
