This is a subject that has many previous threads. Try a search using "Deluxe seat" as key words. Much comes into play, such as your height, reach. Some aftermarket seats do not change the riding position and some put it more or less forward.
My personal solution was to use the HD Heritage Springer seat from circa 99. It allowed me to sit my *** back by about 1-3 inches and it is FAR! more comfortable than the stock seat on long rides. An extra added bonus for me was, since I really favor the look of the old Springers with the fringe, I purchased the fringed seat and it matched the Springer bags I put on my Deluxe as well. I am very happy with this seat.

Try Mean City Cycles (www.meancitycycles.com). They modify your stock seat. I had the double decker memory foam mod. Allen took me back a couple inches and lowered it a bit. Can ride all day with this seat. They have all types of mods. Shipped my seat on a Monday and got it back the following Saturday. Had the mod for the past year. Best investment IMHO.

+3 on the Springer seat. I bought mine from Tim and it is the most comfortable seat with the looks to go along with it.
