For me the answer was a Mustang Wide Vintage 2up. Got it at Dennis Kirk for $350 with free shipping. I sit this seat whereas I straddled the OEM Bob seat. My wife loves the rear seat.

Also this video shows a close up of the seat.

I've got the Sundowner and it is great for long rides.

I have an fxd and I'm planning on getting the stock seat off an fxdc low pro and reasonably comfortable.

I hope you've tried one prior to buying one, because like most (so it seems) I think the stock FXDC seat BITES! I put the HD "touring" seat which is about an inch narrower than the sundowner.

I have a Wide GLide seat that I got new at a swap. Wife is 125lbs and 5'3". She uses a seat pad on longer rides. We travel a lot and have done over 500 miles in a day on it. But 400 area is the more optimum range.

i just picked up a used HD sidekick seat for my bob.

looks great on the bike, really hugs the lines of the bike well.

we'll see this summer how passengers like it.
