Street Glide seats: Which one
I've been doing a lot of searching lately, looking for a seat to sit lower, but not move me foward or back. (preferably solo) I am currently using the stock seat on my 2010 SG. I rode to my HD dealer for a brake switch recall a couple of days ago and tried a HD Brawler on my bike while I was there. I really liked the hight of it but it moved me back about 2", at 5'10" with a 32" inseam this just won't work for me. From what I have read Corbin and C&C seam to be the most popular. Most everthing I have read on the forums have people telling how comfortable thier seat is or suggest having one reworked, Very little about positioning. I have looked on the manufactuers websites and found nothing on how thier seats position the rider compared to stock, except Danny Grays speed cradle. I have also sent an email to Corbin but havn't gotten a responce. What I am asking is what seat do you use and how does it position you compared to your stock touring seat? Info on seats that simply drop the rider straight down 1 1/2 - 2" would be ideal, info on other seats that move the rider down and foward or back could be helpful depending on how much. Regardless, any info on how your seat changed your riding position will be appeceated.

I'm still running a stock but I've been told corbin is the best for lowering and not moving. Can't remember the model but since I tossed the old lady a month ago, I've decided to axe my sissy bar and get a solo. I figured if any boobies want on the back I can get the little pad!

Yea, I like the look of the Hollywood solo, I saw you had posted something about a seat during one of my searches, thanks for your service to our country.

C&C will make the seat to keep you in the stock position, forward or back...up to you.
I would contact them directly and discuss what you want, straight from the house's mouth...

You can always send it to Mean City Cycles, they can lower you down up to 3.5" and it won't move you back. They can also do some modifications to increase comfort while lowering it as well.
