The 1200T comes with the Reach seat. The Super Reach seat may help but it is a solo, the passenger portion is a separate purchase. The Super Reach will move you forward 1-1/2" and it's narrower also. The catalog states it's for riders 5'-5'4". Part #52000207, passenger part#51744-07A. I am familiar with this because I ordered my '17 Roadster with a Reach seat, I'm 5'3", and it was not enough. The Super Reach may have worked for me but I already gave HD all the $ I was going to in the seat department so I sent my Reach seat to Sargent over this past winter and they moved the 'rise' forward 1-1/2", installed premium foam without raising it. June 1st- June 17th I rode from the Adirondacks to Casper Wyoming and back and it worked great. They say 500 mile break in, but I found it to be more than that. Good luck
I also had an Ohlins shock built for my weight, the Roadster is a different animal. The changes I’ve made are the difference between keeping or selling this bike...

The 2014 bike which I am sure is the same as my 2017 already comes with quite low suspension using 11.5" eye to eye shocks. With very little travel now I am not sure using shorter would be a good idea. Blocks if they don't affect shock travel would be a better option.
