Default pillion seat

I know several of you have the sick saddle seat and pillion. I am thinking of ordering this for my husband for christmas but I need a comfortable pillion for the occasions that I ride with him. We own a 2012 dyna wide glide and a 1200 sportster. I ordered the solo seat for my bike and waiting for it to come in to decide if we like, but now looking for a seat for the wideglide. I hear great reviews on solo but nothing on the pillion.

My gf likes it. I had him make it about an inch or so wider than the regular one he sells. We're going on our first long ride this weekend so hopefully she'll still feel the same way about it, lol.

I've got one, but other than it looks great (design, style, craftsmanship, matches up to the solo perfectly), don't have review from a passenger's point-of-view...

Highwayman1224 please let me know how she likes it after the weekend trip. Did you get gel or memory foam added. I think I would also go with a wider pillion for myself.

I've got a C&C and my wife completly loves the comfort of the pillion. It flares out at the top to give you a little more surface area. Without looking like a MONSTER. Check out the picture I attached.

I'll definitely let you know. No gel or memory foam.

All my wife says is "You better bring your %$#@ home tonight!"

Seriously. She wouldn't dare talk to me like that.

Really though, I have the standard HD pillion and it does great for the few times it's used. If you have your own bike and the pillion is rarely used, the HD version does well and looks normal behind the solo Sick I'm using.

Check with 128Auto (Alex.) He has the sick pillion and seems to be very happy with the setup. I know he does a lot of two up riding with his girl.

Oops, I knew I forgot something, lol! She likes it better than the badlander seat that used to be on it cause it's wider. She said it kinda got uncomfortable after a couple of hrs but wasn't too bad.
