Default FLHX Seat Question

As my list of "must do mods" begins to dwindle, replacing the stock seat on my 2010 SG is becoming a more legit concern. I am not overly dissatisfied with the stock seat, but something a little more comfortable is always an option. I would not be against lowering the seating position a bit, but it's not critical. I am more concerned with comfort. I guess my priorities would be:

Comfort

Slightly lower seat height (to sit lower and reduce the need for a taller windscreen)

Appearance

What are your recommendations? I need a start point to begin searching from. Mustang? Ultimate? Corbin? HD?

Any and all opinions welcomed.

Thank you.

I'm in the exact same boat bro, going with C&C to make me one.

And i'm also having them pull the cover on the stocker and 'adjust' it

My wife just got the Reach seat. You sit lower and closer. A bit more comfortable for the rider, WAY more comfortable for the passenger.
