Default Breakout rear seat pad

Has anyone changed this for a wider/taller Fatboy style version? If so what was it and any part no's would be helpful?
Many thanks

Yeah I bought the HD Sundowner seat and Passenger Pillion for longer rides with the Mrs. Have to get both, they don't fit right if you just buy the Pillion. Not sure if the Fatboy pillion seat would fit? I guess it would not blend well with the stock seat.


The Sundowner pillion seat is much wider and thicker than the stock pillion pad. Makes an hour or 2 do able for a passenger, but by no means is it Electra Glide plush. I hate the look of all the stuff on my bike that makes the wife happier but deal with it when she rides on back. It is all detachable and can be off, including seats switched in a couple minutes.


Next goal have her get her own bike.....

I bought the sundowner passenger pillion. I left the stock seat for me. Both seats fit just fine except for a little gap

As soon as the misses is done riding, off comes the sundowner passenger seat.

Yeah that big gap is what I was not liking. Plus the Sundowner rider's seat is really nice for the long haul. Will admit the Mrs. was squirming and I could have gone another hour or two. Plus the HD SD seat places you a little closer to the bars, might fit the bill well for those who think the reach is too much.

I bought a bigger seat and wider backrest. The wife was complaining about that she was not comfortable. So I went on eBay and made it work. Happy wife, happy life.

I got a fatboy rear seat in the end. Works well comfort-wise but catches the sissy bar. I fitted the reclinable side plates to.
