Default Need some suggestions

I am looking for seat suggestions. Currently I have a stock seat and it feels like it sits me on top of the bike. I would like to find a seat that would sit me in the bike.. Second part is I am 6'2 so reaching the groung isnt ever a issue but it feels like i have to stretch to reach the bars. I think a seat that moves me up maybe too much but concerened that a seat that moves me down will also move me back.

any suggestions with seat or bars would be helpfull..

Thanks
07 Roadking

C&C seats You will find them lower and sit you back 1" from factory. I found them through the forum. Chuck will make it how you want it made.

Call Mean City Cycles, talk to Allan, they can modify your existing seat, very reasonable. Tell him what you have and what you want, they are good.
