I went from crap HD OEM 13” air shocks to the 11" coil over Pro Action shocks which lowered the bike to a "slammed" look. It sure makes it easy to throw my 65-yr old legs over and to move the bike around.
Not a super plush ride, but I picked up a used, heated, CVO seat that sits a bit higher. IMO - the more cushion, the better.
You can pick up used seats and either send them off to MCC to narrow the nose, or do it yourself.

Burly Brand Slammers. I put these on my 08 SG. Lowered it about 1 1/2 inch. Some say they suck but i have no issues with them.

I'm 5'8" with a 30" inseam an a lower narrow seat def helps. I installed JNR air ride an if I need leverage to muscle it back into a parking spot I dump the air an it's tons easier. It rides better too. For me I ride with it aired up to just a tad under the ride height when the 12" shocks were on. I tend to ride within a 50 mile radius so a thin seat isn't a big deal to me. Plus if you go long distances there is the chance the air ride could fail to hold air. Again not a big deal for me since I could limp it home without air on the bump stops.
