I've never had a seat that didn't hurt my butt after a couple of hundred miles. Leaving the rest of the day painful (that includes an Ultimate Seat on my Valk (lowboy?)). With that, I still often make 700+ mile days when I travel cross country. All I can say is "Ouch!".

It seems that the RDL seat would fix that. I can deal with its appearance, but I am not interested in raising the seat height. Not because I am too short, but because I like sitting as low into the bike as possible.

Reading through old threads, It would seem that all RDL seats are taller than stock. I would like one that is shorter than stock. Will it still work? I am hoping that it is not just a matter of adding more cushion that makes the RDL more comfortable.

Any feedback on this? Anyone have a shorter than stock RDL? TIA!
