Short guy needs a seat!
Hey folks, got an '06 FLHRCI. Can't stand the stock seat, so I tried a mustang seat, and LOVED the thing.....but I'm too damn short. It lifted me up just to make a difference, and I don't like being on my tiptoes at a stop.
I've been looking at the Harley reach seat (52609-05). It looks like it has good lumbar support, and claims to bring you a little lower and a little closer to the controls (the latter isn't really a problem). I've already got a driver backrest as well, and it looks like that works just fine with the seat.
Anyone using this seat? Thoughts on it? Any other suggestions?

I'll have to pull the model number again and see which one it was I had, it looks very similar but mine definitely wasn't a reach version, it actually lifted me up about 1-1/2". Yours might be the best of both worlds here...

Mean City does good work. They did a seat for another bike I had and it was excellent.
I have a C&C seat now. I wanted more of a custom look. It's very comfortable and the fastback has lots of back support and drops you about 1 1/2". Its also narrower so that helps as well.
