I had the low profile seat on my 08 Street Glide, it was maybe 1/2" lower than the stock seat, it will not push you back. Now that I have the 2011 Fugly I tried it on the RG, it is about the same as the stock 2011 RG/SG seat. I did have problems with the low profile seat the first year on the bike, local stealer replaced it. Second seat lasted two summers maybe 25000 miles and that seat ripped on the seam. The seat is comfortable front and rear (so I was told about the rear), The material on both low profile seats sucked I treated the seat with Harleys magic leather treatment (vasoline in a harley can). I was thinking of having the low profile seat reupholstered. I need to get more miles on the stock 2011 seat before I spend money having the low profile redone. Here is what it looked like on the bike.

I just put a set of lowering blocks on the air shocks, moves shocks back a little, thus lowering seat height about an inch. my brother said they were only about 100 bucks. A cheap fix that worked for me. my next step might be a sundowner seat for about another inch. anyways, good luck on whatever you go with.
