Default Street Glide Seat vs CC Fastback - Passenger Comfort?

I know there are many threads already on the C&C Fastback seat.

We have a 2014 Street Glide and my wife (She's small and light) generally like the stock seat (passenger).

Any opinions about the C&C Fastback seat for passenger comfort vs our stock seat?

I know I could move to the Squareback or Sport touring but I really like the looks of Fastback best.

I think your best option is the solo seat from C&C with the passenger pillion. That way you have sleek look when by yourself but comfort for the wife when she is with you. I have looked at their seats for a while and can't decide between the sport tour or the solo with pillion myself. I think I'm going to just go sport tour and be done with it.

I would NEVER ask anyone to ride that seat as passenger. I've got one and it does not look inviting.

I haven't seen one other than pictures. Is it a lot smaller and thiner than stock?

Wife will only sit on the fastback for short 10 or 15 minute rides. She has her own SGS.

This way she can have a few glasses of wine and I am the DD.

She does complain how crappy it is, then I remind her, she could ride her own bike.

The angle really slopes backwards. Even with the tourpak, she feels like she is sliding backwards.

I LOVE the seat. Great lower back support (much better than the solo)

Yep. A lot smaller. It's more for looks than riding. The passenger portion that is. The rider portion is fine.
