Default Seat help.

Howdy guys and gals. I'm the new owner of a 1999 Heritage Softail Classic and I'm finding out that after 2+ weeks of riding her that the stock seat is extremely uncomfortable. I removed the passenger pad, which kept me from sliding back more, and maybe a little better but I can't stretch out enough. Even with highway pegs I need to slide my butt back more. I get all cramped up like on my 1977 Yamaha out of high school, lol.
Anybody have any suggestions for a seat that I might try. Preferably 2 up, not for a passenger but for a Saddleman bag, so something that will protect the fender.
PS: I'm 6 foot.
Thank you in advance.

I don’t ride a heritage, but my 2006 Sportster 1200C was completely transformed by a Mustang Wide touring solo seat. I can now empty my 4.5 gallon tank without having to take a butt break.
I just looked, and Mustang has several options for your bike.
Can’t recommend them enough.

I'll have to look into them a little closer, thanks.
