The thing that made my wife the Happiest was giving her more room...Moved the tour pack back 2 inchs. Do that and you can STILL use your backset when she rides..
Plus talk to Mean City Cycles

When we went to Sturgis a few years back, I bought my wife the most comfortable seat you can find for long trips. It was on a plane. I made over 1,400 miles in two days and never heard her complain once. Found her in the hotel bar when I got there. She was very happy!
She's just going to have to bear with you and experiment to find what works. I've added a Mustang heated seat, adjusted the floorboards, added additional adjustable pegs for her, removed the crash bar in front of the bags( was hitting her in the back of the leg), gel pads, underarmour underwear to keep her but dry and no seams to sit on....it gets a little better every time but unless she's on the back all the time, the seat will never get broken in properly...both hers and the one on the bike.
Good luck!!!
I can't believe no one has said it yet. If she's not happy, she'll make sure your not either.

it's not the seat making her *** go numb, the passenger foot boards need to be moved up to take pressure off the back of her legs.....there is an artery that runs down the back of each leg...prolonged pressure cuts circulation thus creating a butt fatique....I had to buy adjustable mounts to get mine high enough for my wife.....haven't heard a complaint since.....
