DK Customs carries a rear mounting bracket for solo spring seats that allows for a further back (adjustable) install...I can’t remember off the top of my head exactly how much play it gives you

Mine from Mother Road Customs is adjustable by about 2" forward or rearward, depending on which springs you have on also
