Default Another seat question: Solo seat, for a tall guy?

I got a 08 XL1200C, with I believe the larger tank. Since I have forward controls on it, and am a bit tall ( 6'2" ), I'd like to lose the sissy bar installed on it and set up a solo seat

However, everything I've seen on the catalog says "reduced reach" solo seats, which I don't think I need. I have a 32" inseam.

Anybody have a suggestion for a solo seat for somebody trying to set back a little bit further back, and maybe just a smidge lower than the stock seat?

I have the Mustang solo tripper. Seems to put me back an inch or so more. Ride height seems the same. Looks sleek and is more comfortable than the stock seat.
