Default seat question

Hi. I bought a 02 ultra at the beginning of this season. I have put true duals on and python slip ons. It had the old style pcIII (non usb) when I bought it which will eventually have to be changed but I wanna work on non heat related comfort now. My bike has a stock harley seat on it . It is the pillow lookin one with the buttons which is ok but not great. Another issue is that I have short legs(30" inseam). From what I have read here it looks like people really like the sundowner seat. My question is will it work for me being short legged. I really don't wanna change the suspension. I could use another inch or so. Any suggestions would be great.

thanks
