The back is only about 7" seating area when she sits down. It is designed as a Solo seat but is big enough for a rider.
I use the Sissy Bar and pad for from Harley but take off the luggage rack. For longer rides I'll probably buy the Daytona 2Up for her.
Great seat but if your wife rides a lot you might look at the Daytona 2Up and see if they will modify the seat to look like the FlipKick if you
like that look.

The seat position is similar to stock from front to back and maybe 1/2" higher than stock. I'm a real tall guy. 5' 7" and it fits fine. I'll add a
picture of the Sissy Bar with the stock seat. I'll leave it up to my wife. If we take it out of town and she prefers to have the stock seat and
Pillion I'll change for that ride.
I bought it because I did not like the feeling of sliding back when I gave it throttle.
E-Mail Veronica at LePera. She was great not getting tired of me asking questions. This is the second seat I have bought with her help.

Question her about the KickFlip versus the Daytona 2Up.

Thank you so much, I'm talking to Dontay, and he has provided me with some answers, but the real world feedback from you is influencing me toward the KickFlip

I'm undecided against the Cherokee

Let Dontay help advise you. I was buying mine more for Solo so was not worried about the passenger.
I really was going to get the the Bare Bones since I had one on my last bike and liked it but after looking at the KickFlip changed my mind just to try something different.

So I reached out and asked to get a seat and there is a 6 week delay..

Searched on eBay and the part number from le Pera is saying it also fits an FXBB

Asked Dontay if the seat is right, and he said it won't fit my bike.

Weird. I'm conflicted -.-

harlot, I had the same situation. I ordered mine the first of November and it took about 5 weeks. Was told six weeks because of the CA restrictions at that time on non essential businesses and that a lot of their staff had the virus. Veronica warned me about buying from anyone that was not an authorized dealer. I checked my local Harley and they sold LePera but did not stock them.
If you look on Harley's website the seat for a Slim does not fit a Street Bob so the ad on EBay is misleading.
I would order what you like and just et the weeks go by. Six weeks from now it will be worth it. Which one did you decide on?

when I bought mine last year, they were quoting 6-8 weeks and delivered it more like 4-5 weeks.

I did the la pera and also the Mustang solo seats. Both were better than stock. But still got a hot spot. And only about an hour before was getting painful. Saddleman and can ride all day, plus sits me in the bike better. And don’t come up the seat when accelerating hard
