Default Seat ideas.....

New 2013 Street Glide, would like a comfortable seat that moves be back 2-3 inches as I feel I am too far up with stock seat. Recommendations?

My Dealer has a wall covered with seats that have "Demo" stamped on each one. Many dealers have these, go by and try some out, might find the one for you. Ride around on them for a while, no rush.
Then there's Mean City Cycle that can make your seat into anything you want.

that little bare bones solo saddle that HD makes will definitely move you back that much, but I'm not sure what style of seat your after.

The brawler will move you WAY back and down. Further than any other seat. No option for rider backrest however. It's hard as a rock but still comfortable IMO. I went from the brawler to the C&C solo and am happy. It did move me up from the brawler but easily 2+ inches back over stock and Down probably an inch.

+1 on Mean City Cycle. Cost effective way to make the seat exactly how you want it.

Coming from California it took a good 5 days once they shipped it here to the tundra. Got a custom feaux "Ostrich" pattern and stitching for my Wife's Road king also. That one took a litte longer to make. Mine was standard Vinyl and shipped in a day or two. Both were ordered/installed last spring.

My sig pic is still the Brawler.

+1 on Mean City Cycle. They did a great job on fitting my stock seat on 2012 Streetglide to my specs.
