Find a local motorcycle seat builder, It's the only way to go.&nbsp\\; May cost a grand of so...or you can buy 2 or 3 cheap seats and still be unhappy.
I am happy with the work I got from Rich's Custom seats in Seattle.

I've got the Mustang tripper and pillion for the days she wants out too.&nbsp\\; It's deffinatly lower and looks really clean and sharp on the bike.&nbsp\\; Confortable but yet to take it on anything longer than 2 hours at a time.&nbsp\\; It's an option though.

Is the Sundowner Deep Bucket seat as low as or lower than the stock seat would be on my '02 FLHR?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I don't want any higher than what I've got now and if the Deep Bucket sits at least as low as the stocker does&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;then perhaps I'll consider one of them.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Tks.
