Default softail Slim Pilion Install question

Is there a longer seat bolt that allows the solo seat and pillion to go on the same seat bolt? I bought the street bob seat and pillion. solo seat fits fine.

That pillion seat is the worst seat ever. Rock hard. I thought the wife was just being a sis but after I sat on it for a few seconds, I couldn't blame her for bitching. Cant believe HD would even sell something like that. Bought a Saddlemen suction cup pillion which was 10x better but ultimately went with a 2up seat.
