Default wunderlich low seat

I just received the ergo low seat from wunderlich. I felt the need to buy a lower seat because i can't quite plant both feet flat on the ground.
Well, to my surprise I am worse off then before!
The seat is lower in the middle but the sides are wider which makes it even more difficult to touch the gound.
Just posting this info to let other riders know before spending money for nothing.
Does anyone know of a better seat that would help the cause instead of maikng it worse?
Thank you for any help I might receive.

Default seats

I recently put a Sargent seat on my new triple black after using a Corbin that I took off my 05 gs. It is lower than the stock and the Corbin and more comfortable to boot. I'm 6' and can easily get both feet down now.

Hi, I recently traded up from a F800ST to a 2011 1200GS. What a great bike! I had the Sargent seat on the 800ST and plan to get one for the GS. Did you get the low seat or the standard height? Thanks, Surya

Have you looked at Touratech? I do no speak from personal experience but they offer an Xlow option which claims to the 3/4 lower than stock.
