1st of some first time touring owners questions..
Hey all, I'm thinking I may need to be just a little lower in the saddle on my 13 Road King..
Give ya some facts first, Momma loves the factory seat, we are old and sore people.
What would be a good seat that would provide the same type of design for the passenger but lower the driver just a little bit? The reach to the controls is good so I don't need to be pushed foward and I can somewhat flatfoot. I'd just feel a bit better if I could be an inch or even 1/2 an inch lower, suggestions?
Sux to be vertically challenged.

Don't waste your time or cash with after market seats.
Locate a local shop that will redo your seat to fit you. half the cost and a seat made to fit your needs. And a few 1000's miles when you decide you want some tweaked a bit more it no problem.
There are little shops ever where that can do the work.
On my 2013 100 bucks got what I wanted done.

I lowered my Ultra with the Harley drop shocks, I took them off after one long road trip (2000miles) the bikes handles different and rides harder because I had to crank up the air pressure to stop it from bottoming out riding two up loaded, cuts drown the travel by an inch. Save your money don't buy another seat just get it modified to suit you.

I, too, an vertically challenged... short inseam. The good news is that there's an *** for every seat and a seat for every ***. What I mean is that it really is very personal. What worked for me and my Mrs. is Mustang Seats. Doesn't mean that it will work for you, but I will say that I easily have 100K, 48 states and a dozen 10-to-14 day trips on Mustang seats over the years and for me, their seats flat out work.
Their low-down touring will bring you down a half-inch. You may also want to get the shorter shocks from the SG, but if you are riding two-up full-time they may not be the best solution when loaded for a trip. Solo or just you and the Mrs. without a lot of luggage, they may work just fine.
Oh, yeah...you clearly know if Momma aint happy, aint nobody happy ... The first time my wife sat on a Mustang seat...she demanded I order one the next day...that was 1997 and four bikes ago.
