Default Looking for a new seat, what do you like?
Well it seems I'm in the market for a new seat. After having the bike since new 9/2007 the wife finally decided to try riding and found she loves it and was missing out on so much.
Now to the problem. I have a C & C seat that I love ( The SportTour ) however it apparently is far from comfortable for a passenger. I am reasonably tall and love this seat as it drops me down and back. Just wondering what you guys have for two up riding that your significant others are comfortable on as well as yourself. Would love some input.
Thanks again.

Chris

Check this review on the Mustang Wide Vintage. It really is the perfect seat for two-up. I took my wife from Savannah to Brunswick for lunch yesterday (she's also just getting started as a passenger.). The pillion got an A+ from her. My rider seat impressions are in the review.

If you don't need a backrest the Harley Sundowner is very comfy. You can find a good used one on eBay. My wife was very happy on it. I replaced mine with a Harley Signature Series seat with backrest which is similar to the Sundowner.

I'll second the Sundowner. So far, the comfiest seat I've had on a bike. My wife LOVES it. She'll sit in all day. I don't really like the way it looks on the bike, but, as someone else said, you can't see it when your riding... So.... Kinda wish I had a solo seat though... But this bike is to be "comfortable"....

The Sundowner is a good choice but I found the Mustang Wide Vintage much more comfortable for long rides.

Just held my breath and sprung for a Corbin Dual Touring Seat. $$$ yes but it was worth every penny for me. Im not a bar hopper, I like 200-400 mile days.

I have both and also prefer the Mustang. It looks better, its narrower in the front and sets you lower than the Sundowner. Both seats are good for all day comfort for me and my OL

Sundowner two-up hands down has been the best I have tried.
