Default Road king seat

I'm looking for a seat for my '08 road king that is narrower in the front and doesn't raise the seat height. Preferably a better passenger pad too. Any suggestions?

Sounds like an HD Sundowner Seat with a Mean City Super Narrow Mod would be your answer.
"Like mine".
Rear pad is bigger, see 'em at your local dealer, take one for a free spin...

+1 on the Sundowner with the Mean City Super Narrow Mod. That combo works great for me on my 2012 RK and made a huge difference in my ability to maneuver the bike when not rolling and stop confidently on a grade with both feet down without having the bike lean.

+1 on Mean City Cycles. Did the super narrow mod with a 1/2" lowering. They can do the passenger piece as well with memory foam. Might try them first, as it'll be way less than a new seat.
