Default Street bob Passenge pillion help.

I have this on my 06 street bob. I wanted to know how I can make it more comfortable for my wife to sit in. we go on long rides and her *** starts to hurt. I would like to know what options I have to make it a better ride with her. I would like to keep my rack too.

Thanks guys

D

Default Sundowner

Hi,just my opinion,I bought the sundowner pillion for my FXD,but wasn't happy with it,it didn't feel secure & moved around a bit,plus it marked the fender(harley agreed & supplied a new fender).I now have the Sundowner dual,a few post say it's ugly,but it's really comfortable for the boss,& that's all that matters.

I, too, have the Sundowner seat on '07 SB. Very comfortable for the both of us.

When I first started reading your thread all I saw underneath was the picture of the luggage rack... I was thinking, 'no **** her *** hurts!'! Then I saw the rest.

Funny. Thought I'd share.

Sorry

if you want to keep the rack then the only option you really have is what Joe suggested. Go with that and see if that makes her happy. Otherwise I could suggest Mustang pillion. I have had the sundowner and didn't like the looks or the effort to replace the entire seat every time I thought of putting someone on the bike. I liked the seat I had for myself so a pillion was the option and of the seats I have tried the one that gets the most compliments is the Mustang pillion so I stopped there.

Next time have her ride the rack, then ask her if she likes the pillion better.
