I'm 5' 6 and 5/16" tall with a 29 and 1/8" inseam. They used memory foam, narrowed the seat and dropped it all the way. They recomended 1/2" forward so that's what I did.

I'm happy with the Road King....

The move exact move forward I am not sure, but it had to be an 1/2 inch to 1 inch because I can now reach my handlebars without leaning forward as I had before.

I showed Allen my position as I stated in my previous post and he made the adjustment based on what he saw.
