Default Passenger seat and sissy bar

Alright boys, I took the wifey for a ride today and about after 30 min she was complaining about the ol butt a hurtin. So can anybody recommend a rear seat and sissy bar that is comfortable or should I just use duct tape. Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

if you're making her ride on just the fender... then by all means - get her a seat.

just got done putting this set up on my Slim but haven't tried it out yet due to a foot of snow we got today. Black line stock seat and HD one piece standard height sissy bar. I think it will be comfy for short rides for the Misses but she usually rides her Kawi there in the back ground anyway. I did it mostly to be able to have somewhere to attach luggage to.

Looks good. I might end up getting a gel cover for the seat that is already on there. I do like the sissy bar, might have to pick up one like that.

Bad thing is I've got one for my 06 but it won't work! And I'll never use it for that one.
