Default Sundowner seat on a low

Has anyone tried putting a different seat on a low? I seem to be in between the two bikes. seems like it would fit me like my street glide but with reach handlebars

I am thinking of trying the low seat on my Limited. What do you like/dislike about the Low seat?

I'm not sure that i would like not being able to slide back and forth as i can on my Street Glide. The reach seat really cups you in there. But it wasn't so much that i disliked the seat. The combination of the seat and the reach bars seemed to put everything too close together. So i might like the reach seat on my street glide with current bars or the current seat with reach bars. Or a new ultra limited low with a regular seat or.... Too many choices.

I put a low seat on my 16 Ultra, fits fine, feel the bumps a little more, feet more on the ground, flat footed

My plan is to have it modded at Mean City Cycles with same height double decker memory foam and moving back 1.5 " with heated rider position. I am 5'9" with 30" inseam. What do you think?

Everyone's butt is different,
For me, moving it back wouldn't work, 32" sleeve...
Backrest helps me the most...I'm lucky, my butt likes the stock seat, go figure!
Sundowner was very comfy too.

Whatever works for you, go for it.
