Not sure what would be the absolute lowest. Customs come lowered from the factory, so they're already pretty low. I have a C&C solo and a Corbin solo. Both are about the same.
I have a Corbin and love it. It is definitely lower, but the reach to the ground for my little legs seems further! The problem is getting over the edge of the seat, where the frame tubes come together at the rear of the gas tank.
So be wary of lower seats, especially if you are like me, not very tall. A more padded seat which raises your backside a little may actually reduce the stretch to the ground.

Hi, can anyone recommend the lowest, leanest seat for an 05 Road King Custom?
You might also consider the Le Pera Maverick or the Maverick DL. I'm running the DL version that moves your butt back 2" as well as about 1 1/2" lower The strattleing problem is lessened, frame is narrower 2"s back. Been real happy with mine. I could flat foot at a stop with stock seat but now it feels better when walking the bike backwards to park ect.

i had the corbin classic solo and sent it back to the factory for a 'nose job', they trimmed the front of the seat to make it narrower and that eliminated the straddling problem.
