Need Seat advice, please

I sold my '06 SG and purchased a 2010 EG Classic. I feel like I'm sitting on the tank so I am looking to find a seat that will move me back a little but I don't want to sit any higher. Lower is OK.
I have a 32" inseam. I'm sure many of you have experienced this same problem so I am looking for some advice. There are many different brands available including HD Tallboy seats. Just wondering what has worked for most.

If you liked your stock SG seat any 2008 and up SG seat will fit on your 2010 EGC.

Consoles are different between SG and EG. Didn't like the stock SG seat, I used a Sundowner.

Been through this same problem myself & after months of research I can tell you with confidence I chose C&C Seats....they're seats are made for tall guys which will allow you to sit a little lower & back away from the gas tank. I couldn't be happier with the look, feel, comfort, price & customer service.

Mean City Cycles will customize it to what fits you, for cheaper than any aftermarket seat and it will be comfortable.

Same seat issue's too. The stock seat on my 12 SG is ok. I have the HD back rest it helps but long rides are becoming a problem for me and my wife. I've tried a seat off a 09 Ultra, very comfortable for both of us but it sits me up to high. I'm 5'8" so it puts me on the tips of my toes when stopped. I tried the HD reduced reach seat but it made me feel like I was on top of the tank and was not very comfortable on the family jewels! Now I'm looking at a Corbin but am hesatant about spending the money on one. Any advice?

I was riding with a Sundowner seat on my SG. Very comfy, had memory foam put in at Mean City Cycles. Wondering if I can put a SG Sundowner on my EG classic. That may move me back where I want to be.
