Default any wide seats that will push me back?

I want a wide seat for long rides but I like to sit far back. The mustangs look nice but I hear they push you forward. what seat will push me back thats on the wide side?

Corbin Gunfighter. I got one last fall and it pushed me back by a good couple of inches. The seat is firmer than stock, but flatter, too, so it means it's a little bit bumpier but actually much more comfortable in the long run because it puts your weight on your pelvis instead of on your tailbone. The stock seat was killing my back and ***, but the Corbin is much more comfortable even after a few hours in the saddle.

I got the Mustang wide vintage and I cant tell that it pushes me back or forward but it diffidently raised me about 1 1/2" so that kind of helps stretch my legs out. I'm 5 9" and that's about the limit, any shorter and I would need to lower my bike. Very comfortable and good looking seats... hope this helps.
