You might want to check with Mean City Cycles and get thier opinion of what plat form they have had success working with. They see seats daily and would have a good idea of how to get the "butt ugly" out of the seat.

The new 2011 Street Glide/Road Glide Custom seat is a very good seat that isn't butt ugly. I have switched to one on my Roadie and love it. Good looks, not a big bulky passenger section and there is a lot of adjustability in the seats design. I need to update my bike picture with the new seat and do a write up on the Banana Boards.

The new 2011 RG seat (part #52320-11) is about the same height as the Reach Seat but the front is not as narrow and it doesn't have you sit as far forward as the Reach seat (maybe by about 1/2 inch). It does look alot better than the Reach Seat, in my opinion, but is not as good for a shorter rider such as myself as the Reach Seat. I've bought the 52320-11 seat and compared it to my Reach Seat which I've had for over 1.5 years and 18k miles. Went back to the Reach Seat. I agree, the passenger pillion is butt ugly in my opinion. The Super Reduced Reach Seat, that's twice as butt ugly as the original Reach Seat in my opinion.

I was looking for a low profile 2up corbin seat. I'm 5'7" with short legs, any suggestions.
I am also 5'7". I added the reach seat. It made reaching the ground with flat feet possible. It did make me sit closer to the tank. But is was the less expensive way to go. I didn't feel like buying 5 or 6 seats, or a custom purchase to find the perfect seat.
