Default Seat Fitment

I've just purchased my first Harley (2007 Dyna Street Bob) and it has the stock solo seat. I have kids that have ridden on my other bikes and want to ride on this one as well for around town. I want to get a two-up seat (I know: seat bumper kit, passenger mounts and pegs as well) and I'm looking for something between the streamlined styling of the Badlander with it's 5" wide passenger seat area, (Low-Profile Leather Seat with it's 7" wide passenger seat area?) and the Sundowner with its 12" wide passenger seat area. I'm going to be switching out the stock mini-apes to some style of drag bar in the future, so I'm looking for general opinions, so fire away.

Thanks...

Congratulations on your new bike! You will probably end up with a couple of seats, like many people do. Good Luck.

Thanks cateyetech. It appears that as a person's riding style or desires change, so does their bike and the amount of parts they have.
