Default Seat advice
I’m looking for the best passenger seat and back rest for a 2008 Softail Heritage. Looking for as much comfort as possible.

I replaced the 11" wide stock passenger with the 14" wide from HD and went with a 20" sissy bar. My wife says tts much more comfortable. The backrest on the stock 15" sissy bar would bang against her lower back when hitting bumps.

We need to see a picture of your butt before we can offer worthwhile suggestions legitimately.

Mustang and Corbin both make a great seat. I had a Mustang Vintage touring seat on a Dyna that was super comfortable.

From experience, look at either Mustang or Saddleman. Both are very good but on the Heritage, I prefer the Mustang
