Default low seat?

I've got an H-D "Rallyrunner" on my 09 Road King & am pretty happy with it. But I'd like to go even lower/thinner on a seat. I have looked at CC solo and LePera Bare Bones solo; in either case I'd add a pillion pad for my g/f, so would also consider a two-up seat like the LePera Cobra …
I'd like to hear from owners of such seats; who makes the lowest seat height, most minimal seat?

I have a LePera silhouette -- sits pretty low -- is comfortable and I believe it looks good. paul

The C&C solo seat was pretty low and narrow, but still comfortable.

I second the Lepera Silhouette. I ran one on a 07 Road Glide. I had the one with Biker Gel. I road 3,200 from SF to Sturgis with it.

I have the H-D badlander and I love it... I have rode up to 200 miles in a day with the wife and she doesnt mind it either... she said its flatter and a little wider than the stock seat so she likes it better. She is only 120lbs though.

WOW! Thats a tough Wifey you got there cause mine won't get near it with the Badlander on. I like how flat and wide it is too, I just wish it would accept a riders backrest. A backrest is something you should consider in the decision. IMO.
