Default HD Reach Touring Seat

Does anyone have any experience with the Harley Reach Touring Seat, particularly on Road Kings? I am looking for a seat to help with my short inseam and the website says it will lower a rider 1.5" and move them forward 1.5". I like the idea of being lower, but don't know if I will like to be moved forward. I also wonder how comfortable it will be on long trips.

I bought a reach seat for my 05 softail - I liked the ride position it put me into but it is not a comfortable seat. I have a short inseam also and I didn't last two weeks on that seat - It will be on Ebay shortly at a huge loss - I bought a Mustang regal pillow (Happened to buy the wide model) and it has made huge difference - I love this seat and it gets better with every ride. You will seat post after post about seats here - Everyone seems to really like the Corbins and the Mustangs and it is just my bet that if you polled just the Road King and Ultra owners Corbin would come out on top. If you have any chance to try before you buy I would highly recommend doing so but you will not go wrong with a Mustang or a Corbin - Don't pay list either - There are good post here about discounts, ebay etc....

SWB, I had the seat you are talking about but it really didn't flow with looks of my RKC. I ended up with the 2 Up Sundowner seat from H-D. I have a 28" inseam and this seat puts me lower than stock and is very comfortable.
