+1 on Mean City Cycles. First class people and do a great job. I'd probably send them any seat I buy from now on just to have memory foam added for rider and passenger. I can ride all day now and no problems. IMHO, anything you can buy, Allen can make it better.
Just my thought,
Take the seat off the bike, then sit on bike, can you then sit flatfooted? If not you might have to go with a lowered shock...also.
makes sense to me that no seat could put you lower than just trying to sit flatfooted "on the frame"
I am 5'8"and 29"inseam and I can just barley sit flatfooted "on the frame" On my RK Custom.

i had a lepera on my sportster. looked hot, was definitely not a long distance/time seat.
It is my understanding that if you call Corbin and tell them what you need, they will make it for you. Lower, closer, narrow nose, etc. They claim that they are a custom seat builder and will build one to suit you. I have two Corbins, a Dual Touring and a Classic Solo. I did not ask for anything special except to make the Solo so that I could have saddlebag crash bars on the RK Custom. I like Corbin seats a lot but they are pricey.
