Got myself a '14 Roadie awhile back for a second bike. Love the sucker.
. Been thinking of something to change up this winter. Pretty much got everything else I'd like done, so was thinking maybe a good looking, but comfy seat then it occurred to me. A seat that provides the sensation of losing "in" the bike instead of "on" the bike like my Softail. Does a seat as this exist?
T.I.A. guys!😁

isn't a huge issue. After about an hour and a half I find myself sliding back on the upfront part for extra padding.

I have a Mustang Lowdown, which lowers me about an inch from stock. It is also much narrower in the front. For me the primary reason was to have better leverage moving the bike around due my short legs, and it definitely does that for me.
It is a great looking seat, and all day (500+ mile) comfortable for me. I have the solo version with a separate pillion seat, but it comes in a one-piece two-up seat also.

I'm in the process have having a custom leather seat made by Lepera, hence the picture of the base seat foam. Finally decided on a brown leather with contrasted stitching, seat should be ready in another few weeks.
With my current Mustang saddle, I sit about an inch higher than stock and maybe an inch back and definitely feel 'on top of the bike'. The Lepera is about a 1/2" lower thank stock, so I'll be dropping down 1.5" and about a half inch back from stock. After riding around on the Lepera I can say that it's definitely more 'in the bike' now, which is what I wanted. The Lepera foam is firmer than the Mustang, but I wanted firmer.

I think it does look a little off on my bike to have a solo seat with shiny chrome passenger boards. Not enough for me to take them off. But if I were running a solo seat all the time I probably would. I pretty much leave the passenger seat on now, even though I rarely have a passenger.
