I bought my wife a 2012c sportster it has forward controls. I'm looking for a way to move her forward. She is a shorty on a sporty. She can reach everything but it looks like she might be to stretched out to be comfortable and confident. I seen the super reach solo seat. Has anyone used this seat? Is it comfy? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

 

Maybe mid controls?

 

she won't go for that

Being only 5'2", I've used the super reduced reach solo seat on both of my sportsters. The first one on my superlow took a while to break in. But I loved how it lowered and pushed me 3 inches forward - it was perfect so I didn't want to get rid of it even thought it was uncomfortable after an hour or so of riding. So I bought a gel pad from drag specialties with a lamb cover and put that on it and spent about a month with that on the seat. After that the seat was broken in nicely.

Now I have a 48 with forward controls. I thought I may need to get the reduced reach forward controls, but the super reduced seat put me in a perfect position, so didn't need to get the foot controls. This one didn't need any breaking in - comfortable from the get go. They really do make a difference.

 

I have a super reduced reach two up seat if your interested. My wife tried it on her 2012, 1200C but felt it pushed her too far forward. She only used it for about 50 miles. Let me know if your interested. I will sell it cheap.
