you could also try the low profile seat that is stock on the cvo roadglide customs 2012, and 2013. not too pricey if you get the seat from a discounter, and if you don't need the passenger pillion. that little sucker is more expensive than the seat.....

Mean City Cycles can take your stock seat and lower you down and move you forward or backwards. I had my seat done by them and its really the cheapest way to go unless you can get a seat for $150 or less. You can search mean city cycles here and on google. its hard to find a bad review about them.

That's got to be the under-statement of the year!!
Funny how folks allow themselves to get used to pain?
I had one once.
Give it one 1.5 hour ride and off it came.
I would equate to riding on a vinyl covered brick.
Horrible!!

That's funny. I felt the same way about the low down Danny Gray seats that I have had. Really beautiful seats, and definitely lowered me (which I needed), but the back pain that it left me with was tremendous.
OP, a word to the wise.....you're better off lowering the bike a little rather than to sacrifice seat comfort. I haven't ridden on a Danny Gray Buttcrack, but I've had a couple of seats that were made by Danny Gray that lowered me, and it's a trade-off that you'll hopefully live to regret. After two years of riding on a leather covered brick, it took a year of regular visits to the neurologist to get over the lower pack pain I had as a direct result of my choice.
I can't speak about Mean City as others have suggested, but that too might be a much better choice for you if you're going to be riding long distance. On the other hand, if you're only bar hopping, Danny Gray is hard to beat in terms of quality and looks.
Good luck!
