Cool Lower seat height
Is there a seat that would lower the height without shaving the side of a stock down!

I am short so I have the reach seat and modified factory seat yesterday I set down on an 09 Electra standard with a road king seat and I could not believe how well it felt. I was sitting flat footed and it was much softer than the factory seat and still flowed with the lines of the bike.

I like the Mustang Vintage Solo. Much narrower and puts me more flat footed.

I just received my 08 Ultra seat from meancity cycles- they lowered it approx 1 inch and added memory foam- Seat still looks stock and more comfortable with good reach, give them your height, weight, and inseam. For <$200.
