Default Wide glide lower/forward seats...

Hi folks,
This has probably been asked on here before...

But, I have a 2002 WideGlide, and the seat height is a bit high and the forwards are a bit too far away for comfort.

Is there a seat that will drop me an inch or two, and move me forward at the same time?

Needs to be fairly comfortable as i do a fair few miles? and either a dual seat or a pillion pad option please.

can't be the only person that has these problems, and apart from shorter shocks to drop the bike, this is the only thing I can think of...

Its a great bike, if I could only get comfortable on it!

Thank you for any help you may be able to offer...

Try a Reach Seat from Harley, but I can't vouch for the comfort. Another thought is to find an auto upoholstery shop near you and take them the stock seat, or a stock take-off seat off of E-bay and have them customize it to your liking. It shouldn't be that hard to do and would likely be less costly than a whole new seat.

Thanks for the replies... very handy.

Dglide, Thats a good idea to have the standard seat re-profiled.
Can even do it myself, as I did one on a V-max a while back and that was ok...

Now where did the wife hide the electric carving knife this time....

Thanks gents.. very helpful as always..

I have just bought a Corbin Gunslinger from the USA eBay. ( stupid prices in the Uk for Corbin stuff!)..

Corbin reckons that will drop me down an inch or so from stock and that'll do me!!

Cheers folks.. Much appreciated that you took the time..
