SE Deluxe seat

I have the stock Heritage seat still as well. Very similar to the FB seat. Was hoping to find one with more back support and perhaps sat back slight further. I am 5'11" and the stock seats just do not have the support or sit back far enough.

I've got the Heritage seat too. The Fatboy seat is far firmer and has a *touch* more support, but not a whole lot. Personally I like the Heritage seat.
I've got quite the collection of seats. A Danny Gray, the stock Deluxe seat with the rail, the Heritage and FB seats, a LePera BareBones, and two touring seats. The only ones with much back support (in my opinion) are the touring seats like the Sundowner. But the Sundowner moves you a little more forward in the process. I'm 6'2", so I know what you mean.
If you don't mind the touring look, you might consider a pre-2008 touring seat with a driver backrest. The dealer will tell you that it doesn't fit your bike. He's right, EXCEPT you can take a grinder to the two mounting points, grind them level with the seat pan, and then a pre-08 seat will fit just fine.
The pre-08 touring seat is not as "bucketed" (new word, just made it up!) as the current ones, so you can slide back a little further. Throw on the driver backrest and you've got your support.

I am uncertain regarding the Slim. I do know it fits the Heritage and Deluxe without issue. This has 2 mounting holes on the back where the two bolts come through the fender.
Both the Heritage and Deluxe have the standard 150mm rear tire; however, I do not wish to lead you astray.
I am certain other forum members may have the correct answer to this as many parts that say do NOT fit, actually fit w/o issue.
I do have this listed on the world wide auction site as well but will end that early should a forum member wish it instead.
