Default Good comfortable seat for passenger

Hey guys,
First time posting. Was wonderig what seats you recommend for a passenger. My wife prefers a wider seat with a sissy bar, and I prefer the sissy bar to be quickly detachable. Also, just bought a 2011 Fat Bob, and was wondering if there was any stock on bike storage?
Thanks
Nick

welcome to the forum from Oregon.
I run the harley sundowner with a medium low detachable sissy bar/rack, The stock seat killed me in short order, i can ride all day the sundowner. the front is 16" wide, back 12". Hard to beat for the price. HD also sells a touring seat which i understand is about 1" lower

Thumbs up

I have also switched to the Sundowner set.

Your best bet in getting one for a good price is looking in the classifieds on the forum or checking ebay.

Sundowner with a Khrome Werks Lowboy sissy bar, the wife wanted a little more back support too. 4 screws make it detachable in under a minute.

Thanks for the help...

I picked the Mustang Wide Touring Vintage Rear Seat for the wife. She likes it alot. 12 inches wide. I also moved the backrest up on the sissy bar with a quick adapter plate (need to paint it now). It was too low for comfort stock.
