As others have mentioned, Mean City Cycles, will modify your stock seat, pretty much anyway you want. Though I didnt see the picture you speak of, I know that just narrowing the seatpan up front, helps with reach, a great deal. They will also lower your seating position, as well as push you back, while using a more dense memory foam. I did all this, and recovered it, for $505! C&C and Corbin seats, while probably worth every penny, will run you about $700 or more.

Slick seat, I'll check em out! To be fair though what I've looked at from C&C for a solo/pillion setup was around $550, so pretty fair with everything else I've looked it. Just wanting straight leather though, nothin' fancy.
Check out meancitycycles.com. I've had two seats redone from them, love both of them. You can call and give them your measurements, they'll go from there. They can lower/raise you and move you forward/back as needed. Great customer service, they will be my go to for seats from now on.
If you do go with them, get the seat heater with two settings. Even in our Florida "winter" this year, it's worth it!
Like others have said, Mean City Cycles have a ton of great reviews on here. I recently installed a LePera Maverick. Great quality! Sets you lower and gives lower back support.

That is a sick lookin seat my brother. I bought a road zeppelin low profile that is being recovered now with the blue stitching like the on the stock ann. sg. Momma don't like the stock seat and I can understand why. I also have a hammock that I like but not so good lookin on the sg.
I do have a question for ya. I notice the rear passenger has boards and pegs? What's up with that? Just tryin to make the boss happy.
So I attached a pic of me sitting on my FLHX in my sig, and as you can tell, I look like a monkey f****n a football. I'm wondering if anyone has some ideas for seats that are lower and still plenty comfy? Right now it's just the stocker HD seat on it. Also will be moving up to prob 14/16" apes to get some more comfort that way.
Thanks!
Meancitycycles.com will accept you measurements/height/weight and build your seat using your cover or any other modifications in their system and it's less expensive than buying a new one not made entirely to your specs.
C & C custom makes seats. https://www.ccseats.com
Generally they sit you lower and further back and are some what like a Corbin (firm)not surprisingly as one of the owners "Chewy" used to work for Corbin and Chuck used to work for Danny Grey, but they're very nice. Workmanship bar none. If you ride 2 up be prepared that will take up space for your woman. I got rid of mine for that reason.
Run a first model of HD Hammock seats.
From your photo it looks like you need a taller windshield too.
I had 3 C&C seats and could not get seated back any further than stock. They are NOT like Corbin however Chuck and companyare much nicer to work with and make a quality seat. I had a Corbin Classic Solo on my last and now have a Corbin Gunfighter and love it. C&C could move me back but no support behind the tailbone. Just a flat pan, Corbin has plenty of support
