Default What aftermarket seat will do the followng for me?

'22 street glide. 2-up only I need 3 things. I'll put them in order of importance as all 3 might be a bit much.
I'm single flat footed now but want both down.

1. Seat needs to be more narrow to let my legs down more.
2. I need to be a bit further forward.
3. I'd like it to be a bit lower.

I have already talked to Mean City Cycles and have that quote and wait time. I'm just looking for other options right now.
Saddlemen Gripper
Lucky daves
Predator 3

I have a 2019 Ultra Limited and the factory seat is 27.5 inches tall. I installed the Mustang Low Touring. I am 5'8" and it makes me flat footed, and I am not on top of the gas tank. Christmas time soon, and someone should be having a sale on them.

I feel the Saddlemen Road Sofa is narrower in the front, but, it sits at the same height and the same set-back as oem/stock. This is a very popular seat, but might not work the best for your wants/needs.

Take a look at Ultimate Seats (I happen to have a Mid-Rider Ultimate Seat for sale - as my other seat fit me better…send me a PM if this might work for you)

I feel like the Ultimate Seat is narrower in the front, sits at or very slightly below oem (basically the same), BUT, it does sit more forward than oem (maybe an inch - seat o the pants “feel”)

If you are near the Ultimate Seat HQ (Ormond Beach, FL) - you might got check em out.

As GalvTexGuy offered, you could also check out the HD Reach Seat - maybe your local Dealership(s) have Demo Seats available.

Good Luck

I like this one but something tells me it sits farther back?

As others have said, the HD reach seat may be the answer as it should meet all 3 of your requirements. A dealer may have one you can test ride.

I actually changed from the HD reach seat to a Saddlemen road sofa and am much more comfortable. The HD reach seat had me shoved too far into the gas tank.

The reach seat is too bulky for a street glide.

I understand. I only recommended it because the reviews show a lot of Street Glide owners give it high praise.
