Ok took the wife for a spin around the block today and she said the seat sucks.

So I am looking for a new seat.Has anyone used the HD touring seat

part#51472-06.What other seats have you used that are comfortable for the

passenger.We are planning on taking some overnight all day trips.

Thanks

The HD Touring seat would be a good seat for all day riding or a weeks riding. Wife can do 400 miles a day on one with no but ache. I also have the sundowner single seat I use for a day or week ride. Sundowner is what the touring seat use to be called for 2 up. It is a good seat just most people do not like the look on the bike.

Pillow Look Seat

I have a PillowLook seat for sale in the classifieds. Wife says it is comfortable (I wouldn't know, I'm on the front).

This is my mustang front/back combo. My wife says its plenty comfortable and she's picky. It looks great too. Was nice not to have to sacrifice looks for comfort. Worked out well.

I believe in another thread there is much praise of a custom seat maker very reasonably priced. I'm looking for it now but please weigh in if you know of whom I speak...
