Default Aftermarket seats for Softail Slim

I am looking for an aftermarket seat for the Softail Slim that will move me forward a couple inches. I have a 28" inseam and can put my feet flat on the ground but cannot reach the forward controls. The Reach Seat and Super Reach Seat do not fit this model.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What year? I have the Mustang Wide Solo Seat with the backrest #79742.

It raises you up a bit but you can adjust the backrest to move you forward.

Why not have Mean City Cycles do exactly what you want to your OEM seat. I can guarantee it'll be better than any aftermarket guessing game, tell them what you want, and let them do their magic.

Wish you solid luck. My girlfriend has a 2013 slim and she is 5'2"
She has a 2up reach seat that used to work great for her but after she broke her tailbone it causes her pain and we have been trying to find something else and there really aren't any.

I have read that seats from the older softails with the narrow rear tire can be made to fit without a lot of work. Dennis Kirk carries a Drag Specialties seat that says lowers the rider 1.5 inches and has an available backrest.
