The problem with changing the seat to one that moves you closer to the bars is that now your legs are all cramped up. Change the bars not the seat.

+1 on that!

Professor123 has not returned to discuss any of the options offered. From his OP, he only needed the bars to come back toward the rider a little but keep everything else the same. The H-D Reach Bars do exactly that as I outlined in my previous post.

Our thoughts may be falling an deaf ears.

Change the bars not the seat. Been there done that. Take a look at Kromewerks 2+2 narrow sweeper. You can search the forum and find several threads on these bars.
