Default 2up touring seat tall rider and passenger with driver backrest ... selections

I'm looking for a good 2up seat for my 2005 ultra. The stock seat has me really forward on the bike and it's way too tall (though very comfortable). I'm 6'2" but my legs are short 30" inseam. My arms are very, very long so I will need the seat as low and as far back as possible. My wife is 6' (all legs) and I want her to be as comfortable, if not more comfortable than I am. I'm already planning to lower the bike a couple inches, but it'll need a lower seat as well. I really want a backrest for mysel as well.

It's a lot to ask for. Any good choices?

Bars are a must for me. I did 16" on my street glide but the seat on there is as low profile as you can get. This bikes gunna need a bit more padding so I'm doing 18's, as even with the low profile seat, the bars on my flhx are still under shoulder height which is where I'd want the 18's to be as well.

I have a similar problem my wife is 6'1" and I'm looking for a taller back rest on the tour pack she says it hit her in the middle of the back when I hit big bumps either that or a lower rear seat so she sits lower. Any suggestions

Harley Hammock, without a doubt, the most comfortable seat with extra reach

Harley Tallboy first, then if you need more adjustment look at taller bars.

The Tallboy is what I ended up getting, and it’s pretty good, but the Hammock blows it away
