Default Pillion For Longer Distance On A Softail

Is there a manufacturer, who makes touring type seats like you would find on a Road King, Electra Glide. That fit on my 03 FLSTC anniversary model. I replace the pillion with one that was wider than the stock one like that came off of a Touring bike. But my wife has hip problems and riding long distances are difficult we need a more comfortable seat.

I had one of these on my last softail. Wife loved it and we rode long distances and she never complained. I also put a taller sissy bar with a wider pad on it so she was comfy.

I sent my pillion out to Mean City Cycles, I had had them chop out all the factory foam, replaced with memory foam, and had it pitched from front to back, that helped to keep my GF against the backrest.
