Default Street Glide passenger comfort

My wife doesn't ride with me much but is miserable on the stock seat. Other than replacing the seat what options do I have for her. Anyone have any luck with an Airhawk pad, etc?

I changed mine for the hammock 2 up seat. Much more comfortable for both. Wife noticed a huge difference. Like another rider said on here, if you're going for looks, the seat is uncomfortable, if you're going for comfort, the seat looks like chit.

My GF and I just did 1700 miles in 4 days down the Cali coast on our SGS. I bought the Airhawk medium cruiser cushion and for her the small pillion cushion. They both fill the seats perfect. Now my GF is petite and her small nice *** fits just perfect on it. She loved it and said it made all the difference in the world. I would give both a great thumbs up.

My wife is happy on Corbin's dual tour passenger seat with the matching backpad w/armrests. It wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for.

Without changing the seat?




...simply explain to her how much more important it is to look good when you stop than to feel good while you roll.

I don't care HOW hard-core of a rider someone is, the bike still spends way more time on the jiffy than in the wind.
