Goose, while riding, slide your ass back to the pillion seat and see how that feels. You'll get to stretch your legs out and the controls stay in the same position.

There are a couple of threads detailing how to recover the stock seat and how to add foam to it. A former member, Sarris, and I contacted loads of seat manufacturers, custom leather workers and even measures all the different angles of junkyard motorcycles and couldn't come up with anything that would be a straight custom replacement, so pulling the factory seat, adding/removing/shaving foam is going to be your best bet. You can also connection the pillion seat to the front seat, creating one piece of seat, and then shave that to allow for seating further back. I believe the member's name was Tankawa who did this, but I may be mistaken.
