Seat cuts into leg
Well my stock seat cuts into the back of my thigh. I feel an edge and it starts to bug me after an hour in the seat. So what seat would have a more narrow nose that does not move me forward or up? I have a 32" inseam. Thanks

YOU MIGHT CONSIDER MeanCity Cycle
call Allen and see if you can modify your seat for you . WAY WAY cheaper than buying a new seat .
They lowered and narrowed my seat and added memory foam for comfort. total cost just under $150 including shipping both ways.

I have an '11 Limited, 32" inseam, sent my seat to Allen @ MCC, he moved me down 1.5" to have the more "in the bike feel" and back 2" because I have long gorilla arms and I also didn't want to be so much on top of the tank, and he narrowed the front of the seat for me, and put the memory foam for me and the wife. The seat is "perfect" and cost a lot less than an aftermarket seat. Was an easy process, and since all work is done by appointment you don't have as much down time.
I cannot say enough good things about Allen and MCC!!!
He's a member here on the forum, his SN is "BadX", send him a pm if you have questions.

You may want to try a local upholstry shop and have them "fit" it to you.

I don't think I would go to Mean City again for a more comfortable seat, but for something like reshaping the seat they would be worth checking out. If the only problem you have with your seat is the shape then you should give them a call.

Even though my bikes and city "should" show when I am asking questions, I add pertinent info.
...If you are reasonably happy with your seat otherwise, do you wear flat shoes or thick soled boots?
Thick soles might lift your knees and change the angle of your thigh across the seat edge.
or if you have extended the boards out bring them back in.
Other wise it is a new seat or a remodel ( bummer, I have good luck with that stock seat- my inseam is just little longer than yours)
- and your jeans do not have a seam ( like the bottom of the pockets) that could be bothering you in that area?
