Default Which will push me closer to the handlebars

an 09 RG seat or an 09 Ultra Classic seat?

I just bought the UC seat. Hopefully there is no real difference but closer would be better.

Anyone know?

Send whatever seat you have to Mean City Cycles. Their modifications will place you where you tell them you want to be.

I understand an H-D Reach seat is suppose to move you closer to the handlebars. I just don't want to feel like I'm sitting more on the top of the fuel tank than I already do.

Forget the fat chick.. get a nice chick with big hooters... may as well get SOMETHING out of the deal.... Make sure you wear a thin tee shirt or thin jacket to get the full benefit.

That's what I was hoping for. I decided a while back not to go for the reach seat since I heard people complain about not being able to move around, adjust their seating position while riding.

I got the UC seat for a decent price through the classifieds here. Just need to pick up a seat strap now.

Hooters rubbing in my back are ok, but much better in the face!
