Check out Ultimate Seats. Most comfortable seat I've ever owned and I've been through a bunch including Mustang and Corbin. The Ultimate won't move you forward and maintains the stock height.

+1 on C&C I have a Touring special that most don't know about. It is a little longer and wider that the sport tour. Ask Chuck about it. It lowers you and sets you back and is wide for the passenger.

I'm 5'8" , and have the Mustang Sport Tourer. Way nicer seat then stock but,it did raise me up a little. Maybe 1/2 " or so. I'm putting on Bitchin Bagger drop shocks so in the end it will be good height.
It sux being short.

Yeah, I bought a Mustang Vintage Solo with pillion and both driver and passenger backrests. Not my cup of tea, it sat me higher than stock and I don't like the looks. Very comfortable thought.

Going to go with a C&C Fastback for my "solo" seat and a C&C Sport Tour for my two-up seat. I will be selling my Mustang combo.

I have 5 seats, the Mustand solo is the best and most comfortable for me, I plan to buy a passenger pilon so I don't have to remove it if I ride somebody, or when I go on trips with luggage.

I just put a Sundowner Touring on my 2006 FLHX and while it's comfortable it pushes me forward about 2 inches. For me it's a small price to pay to keep my woman happy on the rear but I run the stock seat when I'm solo. I used to have the Mustang touring seat on my Dyna and it also pushed me forward about 2 inches but that was by far the best seat I've had yet

Dropped me down about an inch and moved me back about an inch too.

Would you be interested in selling the CVO seat? I'm assuming it fits a 2011 SG.
