Default 1 inch lower
Is there a seat for my FLHT that lowers you any. It seems I need an inch or so but anything will help. I know there are mods you can do but I dont like to alter my bike like this.

A seat 1 inch lower might be hard on the Rear Admiral. In the case of my wifes 1200 low rider, the seat is thin. Ater 3 hrs ride time her bunn is done.

The HD Reach seat drops you down some. It is made for people with a shorter inseam.

I put the Mustang 2 pc seat on my 09 FLHTC. The seat lowers you about 1 inch and it is about 2 inches lower in the nose area. With this seat I can sit flat footed. I just got back from Sturgis and my longest day was just over 650 miles. My legs got tired but my butt was fine. My wife thinksit is as good as the stock seat.
