Default Low profile 2 up seat options for Street Bob

I know there are a bunch of threads about 2 up seats.. I have see them all, so I'm sorry for making another.

Just made the switch to a Street Bob from a Suzuki GSXR. I really want a 2 up seat that is low profile all one peice. Preferably something that would be somewhat comfortable for the passenger, but I'm not too concerned about that since we don't 2 up that much and are coming off a Gixxer... (About as bad as it get for 2 up riding) anything would be better than that.

Anyway the ones I found so far are:
HD Badlander
Danny Gray weekday 2 up
Le Pera Silhouette 2 up

I really like the style of these seats and how they flow with the bike. Any good or bad comments on these? Others that I should look at similar to these? If you have pics please post! I'm wicked new to Harleys so seeing the seat on a bike would be best thanks!!

Take a look at C&C seats, I have the Squareback which is similar to the Danny Gray weekday (I had one for a couple of weeks on a Sportster) but this is more comfortable. They also have one similar to the badlander if you really want a sleeker profile.

I'm a fan of theirs. Custom seats reasonable prices.

Hey thanks. Yeah I have looked at their seats and the Squareback, but it looked too tall in the passenger for me... Maybe not its hard to tell in their pics. Which one were you saying is like the badlander? The fastback?

I have both a badlander and a silhouette seat, i run the badlander these days although i like the look of the lepera more also where the lepera has me on the bike, but the badlander has a bit more foam and comfort to me. Have my silhouette seat for sale if you go that direction.

Is there more surface area on the passenger section on one or the other?

Id say the badlander has more thickness, maybe 1/2" more width.

Thanks. I wonder how the badlander compares to the DG weekday on the back?

the DG is great - I bought it and started a 4000mile road trip the next day. It's firm but really comfortable, and looks slick.

Yup Fastback.

Badlander, Squareback and DG weekday basically have the same passenger padding and width, not to be confused with the XL version of the Danny Gray Weekday which has a wider passenger area (kind of ugly too)
