Help with saddle!
« on: June 07, 2016, 08:18:48 AM »

My wife has a 2016 CVO SG, I just dropped the rear about 1.5" she still isn't flat footed,Do they make a seat that will lower her if she is moved forward in the process that is ok also.

 Thanks for the help

The Street Glide, already starts with a low saddle, I don't think you will find a lower saddle from
Harley. Take a look a some aftermarket seats, Corbin, Mustang, LePera are few. I can speak for Corbin (purchased three over the years), if you call them they will help make a seat (within reason) to your needs.

Some members have taken their seat to a local car upholstery shop and had them thin the width of a seat so their legs come closer together. Other have gone to thicker soled boots to have more reach to the ground.
Others have installed things like a Legends air ride rear suspension with a built in air pump so they could lower the bike when parking but raise bike to ride.

Mustang has a seat that is much lower and moved forward. I believe it is called the Low Down or something alone that.line. I have a buddy that is very vertical challenged and he is flat footed on a 09 CVO Roadglide.

Corbin makes the Classic Close which I believe moves her forward a couple inches and down another 1 1/2".  The nose is cut narrower also, so her legs are closer together making the reach to the ground a bit easier.

See the pictures of Miguel's black Street Glide (not a CVO) in my ride report.....it's a Corbin Close.
