You could try Mean City Cycles & have them customize your stock seat for not too much coin. I had them lower & narrow my Mustang Super touring seat & it turned out great.

C&C Seats can make anything you want. Affordable and top notch work.

Corbin will also adjust the seating position for you, if you call and order.

I got the heated hammock seat over Christmas. Love the seat, my wife really loves the heat, but now I need new handlebars. The seat definitely moves you back and up from the stock seat, and I now have to stretch to reach the bars.

Bad news on that. Word from Mean City is that they can't put you back further at all with that stock seat. Good news is that Mustang makes a new seat specifically for Rushmores. It is the Mustang "Summit" seat. I have one and there are other threads here about it. Based on what OP was wanting I can highly recommend and it looks killer.

I even went so far as to remove my Harley adjustable backrest since the seat's suspension system is affected by resting on the adjustable backrest base and probably affects its performance.
Maybe the dealer demo seats don't look the same as the actual (non CVO) heated hammock purchased over the counter?
