Default Seats.... Recommendations...

I have a 2012 FXDC Dyna Super Glide Custom....

I do not find the stock seat uncomfortable for me but my wife can not tolerate it. I am looking for suggestions or referals to a better two up seat.

I could use some more room so I don't care if I sit up higher or further back.

She would like to not sit on a downslope like in sliding off the rear fender and some more comfort for her cute buttocks.

Mfgs? Prices?

For comfort, especially for her, the H-D Sundowner dual seat is great. Not over priced, either. Put one on my 11 FXDC on day two of ownership and never regretted it.

PaiN... I replied to your message. Let me know how to pay for it. How wide is the pillion part?

I looked at the H/D TallBoy and it sounded perfect for $299.95. Says it moves the rider up 2" and back 1.75" over the stock seat.

I had a Corbin on my ZRX1100 and loved it, just expensive and that seat was not for the wife's comfort. I bought her a ZRX1100 to match mine but hers was not as fast!

If you can, go to your HD Dealer and demo seats. I tried out a sundowner and a tallboy and went with the sundowner. I scored a new one off of eBay for $150 so I recommend looking there first. I also have a 12 FXDC and my lady loves it. I only put it on for longer rides due to the not so great looks but boy is it comfortable.

I have the Sundowner on a Dyna and my wifes cute buttocks said that it needs to be replaced. The purchase was not random, I also have a Sundowner on a 1200 Sporty and she has never complained about that seat. We have pulled 12+ hour days on both. The Sporty version pillion is .5 wider by spec and 1 inch wider with a ruler. I'll be watching for the suggestions as well since I need to get a new seat- her suggestion was a Fiat 500c Cabrio - drivers seat.
