Default passenger seat?

damnit!! I need a better one! it is fine while you are dating, then it all changes! including the comfort on the bike which was once great!!(?)
anyway, what are your opinions on the best comfort, REMOVABLE seat? I have an FLSTSC with a solo, which I can and do put the rear seat on, it is not a suction one, not a little pillion, factory one, I was looking at maybe upgrading? or getting something to go on top of that? Gel? Butt Buddy? what do YOU think?

Although I've since upgraded my OEM seat to a Sundowner, my wife rode several thousand miles on a butty buddy and swears by it. They do have a suction mount for the fender, or the original tab over setup. Either way, they are really easy to mount and remove ( which is a good thing; she calls it the proper name, I call it Butt Ugly) , the wife loves it, and I didnt have to ride around looking like a dork with the thing in place when she wasn't with me. They are a bit $$, but they are good gear

Harley also makes a touring size seat for the Heritage. I've had them on both my Heritages and the wife loves them. And you thought you were taking her for a ride? Now she's taking you.

Try the Mustang Vintage Wide Tour. It comes in a one piece that comes off easy and you can run your solo when you want.
