Default 05 flht Need seating suggestions

Guys I'm trying to find a new seat for my 05 Flht. The seat needs to set lower and back in the drivers position. The factory seat is to narrow and puts pressure right on the wrong spots. Looking seriously at two Mustang seats 75449 and 75454 and the Harley Sundowner and LePera Maverick and also the Pro Pad Cyclepedic Touring and the Danny Gray Doubleback. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I have a sundowner that I added after taking off the stock police seat on my '05 FLHTPI. The seat sits me lower that compared to the police seat, but I'm not sure if it moves you too much further back. Overall it is a very comfortable seat.

Check out Diamond custom Seats. They will build a seat to your height, weight and inseam.
I have had 3 Diamond seat on Gold Wings and am ready to spring for one on the Ultra.

C & C seats move you down and back, a noticable amount. Nicest folks in the world to deal with and I think they're a sponsor on this site. I've got the solo and it looks great on my bike. (to Me)

I felt the same thing on my 2004 FLHT. Needed a little lower and further back off the tank. After a lot of research I went with ccseats.com Love the low price, quality, feel and look of my seat.

I put 75,000 miles on a Mustang Wide solo with passenger pillion. It's the best seat i ever had. It will move you back about 1 1/2" and down 1" heres a pic.
