I actually live out in the mountains in a very small town called Pine Valley. However, I am stationed on 32nd ST Naval base, so I'm in SD itself on the bike almost daily. I'm still at sea but if you think you could make it close enough to the base to where I could meet you I could do that. My wife works in Kearny Mesa so I could always come up there mid afternoon to visit her and you could check it out.

As promised, I took measurements. It's raining/hailing so the bike is in my filthy shop or I'd post a picture. Maybe it'll clear up this weekend for a ride.
I'm pretty happy. The seat quality is awesome, and it looks great. It's very stiff right now, which I assume will wear in a bit once I put a few hundred miles on it. It's narrower by 1/2" at my butt than I thought it was going to be, but it angles outward toward the frame and makes for a great look. I can't wait to take it out and see how it feels.
This Lucky Daves seat is 11.5" wide at the top, angling outward to about 12.5" by the frame. The passenger area is 6" wide.
Now for the comparative measurements. I measured from my belt buckle to the center of the speedometer. I figured that would give actual comparable "where I sit" values better than measuring to a spot on seats with varying back angles and stiffness.
Stock 2016 Wide Glide solo: 20.5"
Dyna Road Zeppelin: 20"
LePera Daytona DLL: 22"
Lucky Daves: 20"
I'm very happy the Lucky Daves didn't push me closer than the Zeppelin, and I assume with some miles on the seat I'll gain maybe just a little.
So long story short, compared to stock the Zeppelin and Lucky Daves push me forward .5" and the LePera Daytona Daddy Long Legs sits me back 1.5".
