Best seat for 09 Street Bob
I just bought an 09 Street Bob with 1702 miles on it, air cleaner kit, Stage 1 tuning, Vance and Hines black short shot pipes, and forward controls.
The bike came with an extra seat (Stripper seat) but it does not work at all for my wife to sit on.
She rode on my buddy's 09 Street Bob with a Mustang seat, but his seat is not the touring style for the Dyna. She said that it sucked riding long distances on that seat though.
What is everyone's opinion on which manufacturer makes the best 2 up seat? It seems that the wider the 2up pillion is, the more comfortable it will be for long rides.
Is the Sundowner a great seat for a 2 up seat? If it is, where is the best place to pick one up? I need to get a nice comfy 2 up seat ASAP so my wife can go riding with me.
Thanks,
Doug

I tried 2 different Corbin seats on my 98 Kawasaki Concours, and both of them just sucked for long distance riding.
I'm hoping more members chime in on Mustang seats and the Sundowner seats so that I can get a better feel on which seat to buy.
The seat has to be comfortable for a 600 mile a day road trip for 2 up riding.

While there are both good and bad seats, you need to keep in mind that no two a$$es are alike.
Alot of people like the Sundowner and another group will swear by the Mustang, but after having both, I can tell you that only your and the wifes keisters can tell you what's going to feel comfy. The "best", most expensive seat out there will suck, if it doesn't fit your butt.

I had a stock lowrider seat on my bob and it was a great two-up alternative for cheap. But after about 400 miles, the OL couldn't handle it. so I bought a mustang. all is good now. My lowrider seat is for sale if you're interested, pm me.

The Mustang Vintage or Wide Vintage 2 up seats are very comfortable. The C&C Sport Tour looks great & is very comfortable for a passanger.
And these HD seats would be nice for 2 up on your ride.
