Default Heritage Passenger Seat Question

The Passenger seat on my 2009 Heritage seems to cause my wife to continually slip forward. Is there a better passenger seat available out there?
Maybe even one not quite as tall but still comfortable. Thanks for any info.

I bet you've got the "touring" pillion.
I put that on my Heritage and my Wife slid forward every time I braked so I put the OEM one back on.

I've since installed the Signature Series seat that has a passenger pillion that's the same size as the "touring" pillion only it doesn't slant in the front.

This is an interesting post. I have a 14 heritage stock seat and my wife also says it slides her forward. I was wondering what seats would solve this issue.

Just as an FYI--Some cleaners that folks use on seat covers (Such as WD40 and Armour All) will make a person slide. Discovered that when autos had bench seats and vinyl.

my wife complains about the same thing on my 07 Heritage.
I have talked to the guys at Mean City Cycles and they can redo the foam in the seat you have to taper the foam toward the back which they say will keep the sliding forward down
what I would really like to do honestly is a different seat cover that isn't so slick but haven't done anything with it yet
