Help with new seat,.
Guys,
Im looking to get a new seat for my streetglide.The stock one makes me sit too high.
I did some mods to it but still not enought.
Can you give me some advice about wich seat to get? Im looking for a two-up seat that can sit me BACKWARDS AND DOWN ,i heard about lepera or maybe hd tallboy seat but, i still dont know what to do,....
Thank you for your help!!!!
Happy new year and plenty of good miles for you all!!

The HD Tall Boy seat will sit you higher.
You might need to check out a seat that is more narrow in the nose so your legs aren't spread out as wide.
The cheapest way to go is a 2011 Street Glide seat or an '08 Road Glide seat.
They are both narrower in the nose than your 2010 SG seat.

if you already have a streetglide seat, you are kind of back and down already ( about 1.5" down and back from a stock ultra/classic seat), there are seats that will move you back still, but they are solo seats---and with less height is less padding, so not great for much saddletime.
also a drop seat can result in poor knee, ankle angle so control is reduced, at a stop instead on putting your foot down, your are lifting your leg and rotating to the side to get your foot to the pavement. not a big deal but if you have had any hip problems....
there is a replacement tail section which can drop you about 3 inches. it replaces the rear frame subsection... probably run you about 3 grand
if you can do a solo seat for some of your riding, the HD Brawler is somewhat farther back and lower than the stock streetglide. here's a brawler on my '09. you can use the rear crashbar to judge seating positions in photos

Mustang makes a great lowered seat as does C&C Seats. Both are "solo" types that can be purchased with a backrest and passenger pillion. I've used both brands with great results on short and long rides. Never could find any HD seat worth risking my dollars on.
