Default best two-up seat for 2008 fatboy

hello all,
well, spent plenty on my bike, thought i'd almost finished (yeah right) and then the wifey complains about the fatboy passengerr seat being too painful,

so, i know this topic has been done before, but given that up in a really lazy frame of mind, could anyone suggest the best seat replacement for the 2008 fatboy - for both rider and passenger comfort

I put a Mustange Wide Vintage seat on my Fatboy. The rider width is 17 inches and the passenger with is 14 inches. Big seat, but we find it very comfortable.

I'm at work so can't send you pics, so here is a picture of my bike from my work PC wallpaper.

BUT seats are VERY subjective. Took mefive seats before my wife and I could agree on one (lost money reselling each and everyone...)

I had the same issue when I first got my 2005 Fatboy, unable to find a comfortable two up seat. Best solution I cam up with.......bought another bike, Ultra Classic. Best two up seat by far!

My wife was in the same boat when we got our heritage.
she hated the stock seat, so i bought the touring pillion from harley.. she still wasnt happy, so i bought a gell pad to sit on top of that... still wasnt happy. [:@]then i bought the mustang vintage wide touring seat, and now shes happy.
to be totally comfortable two up, ya almost gotta go with a geezer glide.
