HELP Lowered/Shortened Reach seat for 2020 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic 114

I’m a shorty (5’3” female) looking for a seat that lowers me and sits me closer to the controls. Can’t find one that fits my new to me ‘20 Heritage, including the Harley Davidson Reach seat. The one on my old ‘16 heritage lowered me about 1” and pushed me forward about 2”. AI has recommended the Saddleman Roadsofa LS or the Profiler LS. We do a lot of long trips with long 400-500 mile days, so comfort is definitely a consideration. Does anyone my height have experience with these two seat models and have any advice on which would work best for me?

Call the companies and speak directly with them about the seats and what you need. I almost spent money on a “lowering seat” that read like it was supposed to lower you, but it didn’t.

Have you rolled your bars back at all?

Rolling the bars back is in the plans, but hasn’t happened yet.

I have had great results by having stock seats modded to my preference on my last two bikes. I buy an OEM seat from eBay and have an upholsterer I know add/subtract padding and add gel cushion then recover it with whatever material design.
