I second that! Same height with the same seat and I am fully flat footed when walking the bike. It's not as cushy as the sundowner I had at first, but it's comfortable. The sundowner was also a good seat for me too, but I just wanted a solo setup with driver backrest that I could use with a solo tourpak down the road.

I went with the Road Glide CVO solo seat. It comes in black or brown. It's basically a brawler seat with some gray stitching. It's a little more than the brawler but I think it looks a bit nicer. Your dealer can order it.

I have the reduced reach seat but I am not a big fan of it. It pushes my seeds up to the gas tank but it is effective at getting your feet on the ground.

which option
Which option did you go for? How much lowered? Turn around time? I appreciate your response.
Seeing as they didn't have a super reduced reach seat in a single, I bought the double and had it sent out to make into a singe. I loved how it moved me forward and lowered at same time...also lowered front and rear 2 inches. Im 5'1

I'm 5'7" with a 30" inseam. Still riding the stock seat and suspension and have ridden over 13,000 miles in 10 months. I was a little unsteady at first but, with a few miles under me got very comfortable. Put some miles on her and then decide what you want to do. Ride safe!

Street Glides are already lowered compared to Ultras. I would look at getting the stock seat narrowed. There is the reach seat from HD that moves you down and a bit forward too. Another option, and one that I picked with my Ultra, get boots with bigger heels. Sounds simplistic, but really was the best solution for me.
