Default Fat Bob replacement seats

I'm looking to replace my Fat Bob's seat with something a little more comfortable for a passenger. The stock seat is great for me - the bike is an '08 with 20k miles on it all from me - but a passenger can't handle more than a 30 minute ride. I was looking at the HD tallboy seat, but am open to suggestions.

Any input would be great, and pictures would be appreciated because I would like to try and keep the look but that is a secondary thought. Thanks

try typing "two up seats" in the search link of this forum and you'll find more than enough opinions on seats.

My wife rode on the stock seat with me on a Shriner toy run and after the first hour she was not happy. I put a HD Sundowner on and she thinks it is very good, looks terrible but who can see the seat when you are sitting on it? When I go solo I have a 2009 SE fatbob seat that works great and looks even better.

I agree with with fatbobmg, I too use a sundowner with company and stock seat when I'm solo.

I use the HD Sundowner as well. My wife loves it and says there is a stark contrast between it and the stock seat, however I don't really feel any more comfortable on that seat as opposed to stock. It also puts me a bit more forward and sitting up like you are on a bagger which I don't care for really but for me it was all about the passenger.

Lots of guys have went with the Mustang solo and passenger pillion too. Those look great and folks seem to like them.

here's a couple of pics
