Most Harley Dealers I have been in lately have seats you can put on your bike for test rides. You will never know if you will like a seat on your scoot until you take a ride on it. Check'um out.

my bad lander set me back and down cpl inches from my stock, i just got a CVO seat, it sits you back but not down very much. i have not found one that gives you more room than the badlander, i tried about all harley had and cpl other brands.
its pretty easy to see diff in this pic
