C&C can make the seat push you up further if you want.

I sent email to c&c about a seat. They will custom make whatever you want. Move you anyway you want up, down, forward, or back. Just call and talk with them. Tell them what you want. Check out their website. http://ccseats.com/

My favorite seat for comfort and back support is the Le Pera Maverick. It sets me forward about an inch as well. I have a short inseam and this seat worked so well on my FLHT I got one for my Softail. I probably could have gone for the Sorrento for the Softy. It's a cross between the Silhouette and the Maverick with an emphasis on touring comfort but leaner for looks. The Sorrento might the right one for you.

It's the nose of the seat you need to be concerned with as far as width goes. The part you actually sit on can be any width.

Get Russell Cycle Products to build you one. They request you take a picture of yourself, your rider, weight, height and inseam. Russell I believe uses your old pan. They are a bit pricey but worth a look. Corbin also builds a custom saddle but does not go as far as Russell Cycle Products. I personally like the Corbin.

i am 5'6'' i put a stock road king seat on my 2008 street glide---had harley put all different seats on my bike and the road king dropped me the most and kept all the comfort-you can see my bike on my profile page----also i lowered the front end when i bought the bike---- im now im the process of thinking about trying lowering blocks but only going down 1 more inch---lowering blocks allow up to lowering 2 inches on street glide due to standard shocks are already 1 inch lower than dresser shocks ----hope this info helps you
bikersdelite is the company on ebay that makes the lowering blocks-sent several questions to them about 2 of their products and they answered all of my questions---- have not yet bought anything from them yet so can't tell you any more about the lowering blocks----road king seat dropped me about 1 inch or so due to it fits close to the frame
good luck want any more inf let me know

If you want to keep the Street Glide seats sleek appearance look for a 2008 Street Glide seat, it is a 1/2" narrower and if you need to be lowered even more you can have the seat's stock foam reshaped to do that, there is plenty of foam in the 08 seats to lower you another good 2 inches. Another alternative would be to put a 08 Road Glide seat on your bike, it is a lot narrower where your legs go down which helps a lot and it too can be reshaped to lower you even more. The 09/10 seats are really wide and they can be lowered and narrowed also but not as good as the 08 seats can. I just picked up a 08 RG seat for my 2010 RG, haven't had a chance to work on the seat yet but I hope to get it done this week.
