wanna get a bit closer

Have an 06 EG Classic and find that I lean forward just a bit too much and put pressure on my wrists which is starting to be a problem. Tried riding today with a 1.5" piece of foam on the back of the stock seat and it worked pretty well. With all the experience of trying everything out there, what would you guys recommend: Reach seat, stuff some more foam into my seat or a backrest?

Thanks

RE: wanna get a bit closer

You may want to look into another seat. Harley makes the "reach closer" seats like the Sundowner. But, my personal preference is the Corbin Close Solo. This seat will put you about 1.5" closer to the bars. Also, get a backrest too! You'll be surprised at the difference it makes!

I use the reach seat. Didn't like it at first, but love it now.

Take care,

Thanks - I did buy a Reach seat today. Love the riding posture, and the lower stance. Won't need to lower the bike now. However it is pretty hard compared to the stock seat. Hopefully I'll get used to it cuz everything else is perfect.
