I have a Corbin seat which is made just for the Deluxe. This does move me back a little and is much better than the stock seat, but it is pricey ($500). On their website they have other options also for back rests and passenger seats, but I only bought the drivers seat. Another option is to have your stock seat reworked to remove some foam in the back portion of the seat. Some people on this site have used Americansoftseats.com who will do this, and add a gel pad for about $200. I am going to give them a try with my stock seat here in the next couple of weeks, as I prefer the looks of the stock setup.

I paid a local upholstry shop $120 to rework mine. Took a few hours total, including a few test rides.
I can ride 12+ hours now, when before I could go about 30-45 minutes before my butt was numb.
I am 6'2 and I have to stretch to reach the highway pegs now... It made a huge difference.

I redid my seat, because I like the looks of it. I didn't find anything out there that I liked as a replacement. I am very happy with the change.

Try C&C Seats www.ccseats.com they make a great product and good price. I have one on my FLSTFI and I'm 6'3 with a 36 in inseam and it dropperd me down and moved me back. Very comfortable too. Look at the site and then call Chuck the owner if you have questions.
