Reviving an old thread here...

Can anyone with this seat tell me how tall it is? I have a low sissy bar and want to see if I would need something taller.

My girl doesn't actually lean on the sissy bar, but at least i know it would keep her from sliding back and off the bike.

Thanks for any input!

 

It's only an inch and a half when attached to the seat, you should be fine with your setup.

 

Cool...thanks!

 

Ya, for $100 I would try it, but for $150, I probably would go with a new Tallboy seat for $239

For $90 extra I get a whole new seat.

 

My seat is custom shaved by me and for me...plus i built the driver's backrest, so finding a seat for that cheap is impossible for me.

I'm short so I have modded my seat to fit me...the buttybuddy would just make it better for her.

 

Bought one for my wife 21,000 miles ago and haven't heard one complaint about comfort. Worth every penny.

 

mine did not like it. I borrowed one from a friend, she said that she felt like she was sliding around on it, and that it didn't have much cushion. maybe good for some, but not for mine i guess.

she liked the sundowner i have for sale, but the sissybar became too low on her back then her liking. I liked that seat too, very comfortable. 150 is sort of pricey i think for a passenger seat...might as well do as some others said, and put that money towards a better seat for the both of you. the only bennifet you get from this is the option to ride solo, and attach when needed.

 

I just ordered one. Will keep this post updated whne I get it and try it out.

 

This is a fantastic seat and well worth the money! I went across the Midwest and we rode 5000 miles and I didn't have a problem. It was on a Heritage Softail not a full dresser, riding bitch and it was a lifesaver!

 

I stuck one on the rear of my trike, the Mustang pillion was just too narrow the way it was, the Butty Buddy gave the little lady more seating area, even though she doesn't need it. As stated, it's only about 1.5" thick and I got the one that straddles the rear seat, so it makes her sit higher, the 1.5" plus the additional gain from not compressing down the Mustang seat. It seems to spread the load so the seat doesn't compress much. I don't know if she is good for a 500 mile day but went about 150 past Saturday and the temps in the 90's and she didn't complain about it. So for me and my ears it was worth the money.
