Unhappy My fat self needs help!

My 2017 Heritage is in my opinion.is the best looking bike I've ever owned and my first Harley. My problem is the seat and suspension. I need to scoot back about an inch and a half. I've tried adjusting the bars every which way and where I like them best pushes me onto the back of the seat. I'm hoping a set of Legend shocks helps the ride but the seat has me stumped! I tried a Mustang wide solo but had to send it back it was worse than the stocker. Any suggestions, I love the bike but hate the ergos.

^^^ agreed!!!
I had Mean City work their magic on the seats of my ‘20 Heritage.
A real game changer for a ‘LOT’ less $ than buying new seats.
