Aftermarket seat, or just lift the front up more?

Hey Guys, (and girls) I am as most of you know new to the Savage world. I love this girl she is great.... buuut Im not lovin the seat. I raised it up about an inch its better but still not nearly as comfortable as my 250 marauder was (that thing had one big butt seat) Ive looked for aftermarket solo seats (Aint no one riding B on my bike) and I have not had any luck finding something that is listed as fitting these bikes, Im sure that you have found something that fits so what are you using or do you think raising the front another inch will help?

I have mine raised closer to 2"... and it puts yer' weight back onto the bigger part of the seat...(not perfect, but much better)...
I also have a homemade, faux sheepskin cover that helps a lot, too...

Harley Davidson K Model solo seat, Road King Police Solo, Kawasaki KZ 900/1000 Police Solo...

I'm supposed to be picking up a friend's spare FLHR-P seat soon, I'll see if I can come up with a proper mounting kit design.

The factory seat worked better for me once I cut it down. Threw the factory cover and foam in the trash, 2 layers of blue 3/8" ensolite camping mat, thick water buffalo leather cover. Took it from a 50 mile butt number to a full tank butt number.
