Dennis Olthoff fabricated some aluminum bar stock into a couple of spacers that go under the front seat adjusters for a few of us. They effectively raise the front of the seat - naturally forcing the seat back to tilt back further. To use them, however, we needed to use longer bolts in front to mount the seat, but they're easily found and easy to replace.
You could probably accomplish the same effect with longer front seat mounting bolts and a stack of fender washers. Just be sure and loosen the back seat mounting bolts as well...then once the washers and front mounting bolts are in place, retighten the rear mounting bolts. Using the washers you could experiement with how far the lean angle needed to be for you to be comfortable.
I found I didn't like the angle of the seat bottom...felt like I was reaching uphill for the pedals...just my opinion, though. You may find you like it fine.
Hope this helps...good luck.
