Well as of now I have tried 5 seats and have ordered a Mustang Wide Tripper that should be here Saturday. I am wanting to stay as close to the stock seating position as possible, could possibly go back or down a tad but not up and forward. If you know any more I should try let me know here are the ones I have tried already. I have also been considering sending the stock one into MCC just dont know if that will bring anymore comfort to the wife.

I have been running Mustang Seats on all my bikes for 15 years or so and for me you can't beat them for all day comfort and they are well made. I have never had an issue with one.
This particular seat on the RGU moves me back a couple inches from the tank as compared to stock without really any sacrifice in the passenger area. I feel it also moved me higher than stock although I cant really say how much, its minimal but I did feel on the first ride that I was sitting slightly higher

Seats are like exhausts, you have to find the one that suits YOU (or your wife). And it gets $$$$ to buy them and re-sell them if they don't work out. One thing you can do is hang out at the HD dealer on a weekend and see what rolls in the parking lot, then strike up a conversation if someone shows up with a seat you are interested in, you should be able to get a test sit on it.
Mustang Wide Tripper looked great on my bike, but it was a torture rack for me. Now I'm on a Corbin Solo and its perfect.

I just bought a Mustang solo 17" bucket at a bike show. My girl has her own bike so I ride solo 98% of the time. It put me back and down a little. Love the seat but now I need some apes to complete the job. No matter what seat I use the stock bars have me bending over a little and the next morning my upper back is in a spasm. I think 14" apes might do the trick.

Well the Mustang Wide tripper came in but its was damaged pretty badly. So I had to send it back, but I was able to put it on for a few minutes and it moved me back too far.
Now.... For the next and hopefully final seat it will either be MCC modified stock the only downside is the the down time for my bike, or the HD low profile (CVO style seat) my dealership had a cvo in the other day and I sat on it, the seat seemed to fell really good
