Default reach seat

Does the HD reach seat on an E-Glide make much of a difference as far as seat height is concerned ?&nbsp\\; ?&nbsp\\; ?

Not much with seat height, but it pushes you forward pretty good which allows you to not be "spread out" so far when your legs are down.

It does what it says it does but at a cost. It has less padding and I found it to be a very uncomfortable seat. I had one for less than 24hrs. I bought a good pair of thick soled Chippewa logger style boots and a new Sundowner.

it works well for me, gets me lower and forward, more narrow in the thigh area, gets me flat footed, but, a lot less padding
