Do not get a Corbin Close Solo for a Streetglide!
I had a Corbin Close Solo on an '05 Road King and it was great. So when I got a SG I ordered the equivalent seat for a Streetglide and it was unridable. By unrideable I mean not even around the block rideable. I was almost sitting on the gas tank and the hump in the seat put pressure on my.... Well there was a lot of pressure. Corbin took it back and I got the regular Corbin Solo and it is perfect. (I had to pay shipping.) Someone here had the same problem. I am 5'8" and she was 4" shorter and it did not work for her either. Just looking at the seat mounted on the bike you can tell visually that it would not fit anyone old enough to get a motorcycle license. There is something wrong with Corbin's measurements when they ported it over to the Streetglides, 08's anyway.

Close Model picture
Here is a side view of my close model. Look how high it rises in the front to make room for their locking mechanism. This is the area I needed lower so that when I stood up I can get flat footed. My heels were higher off the ground than they were with the Harley reach seat.
