depends on how tall you are and how far back you like to sit.

the streetglide seat will put you down about an inch and a half and back an inch.

the HD Brawler solo seat will put you down about 2.5" and back 2.5" from stock, these seat work better with tall guys ( I'm 6'2") and I use the stock bars, I just loosened and rotated mine back a bit.

your dealer should have a "fit shop" where they can mock up different seats, bars and lowering kits for you

Send your seat to Mean City Cycles and have it over with. I got the reach seat... lasted 250 miles, before deciding to follow everyone's advice here.
