Another vote for Mustang. Good seat from a good company.

Mustang day tripper vintage here.
Great seat, expensive addition for a pillion.
Also tried the original HD sprung solo deluxe seat. Expensive kit to fit, works good, but the Mustang edges it out for longer term comfort.

Many seats will fit but might require you to drill a central hole in the rear seat mount to fit the Slim's single fender bolt hole - a 5 minute job!
The Fatboy seat will fit as will the heritage or the Deluxe seats - I have the Deluxe on my Slim and for me it's perfect
Also, go to your local dealer and try the HD reduced reach seats - there's a reduced and a super reduced. They'll put you further forward. Like the Fatboy/Deluxe seats you'll have to drill the hole in the rear seat mount but the dealer should at least let you place one on your Slim and sit on it (they should have demo ones for you to try)
Good luck!
