I recently purchased a 09 Street Glide, and had similar issues with the stock seat. I'm 5-9" witha 30" inseam. I replaced my seat with a REACH seat from HD. I have @1500 miles on it so far and I like the fact that it moves me forward, and I'm closer to the ground. Something about stopping and being able to touch the ground makes me happy! Go to your local dealer and ask if the have one in stock, and try it on for size before you buy it (mine let me remove my seat and just place theirs on the bike for a test fit.) Happy Seating...
