I'm looking to upgrade my seat on my 06 night train any suggestions or ideas where to get one preferably with a nice passenger seat for my wife to be comfy and I'm only 5' 7" so looking to get like moved forward 2 inches also, thx ken

 

Plenty of good seat manufacturers out there. Lepera, C&C, Saddleman, Corbin are just a few. Make some calls and talk to them. They'll tell you what seat pushes you forward, and how much more forward from your stock seat. As far as comfort, the wider the seat the more comfortable it usually is.

 

I'd call Ultimate seats, love mine

 

I use Corbin so when a friend of mine wanted a new seat for his Train, I recommended Corbin to him and it worked great for him too.

 

all depends on what kind o riding you plan on doing, around town, bar hopper, long trips

 

I have a Corbin Gunfighter & Lady on Reaper - my 2005 Night Train. My OL rides with me for hours, and she likes the passenger seat. I love the driver's seat. I have put in 800+ mile days on it and been comfortable. It doesn't move you forward, though.

I test-fit a Saddlemen Explorer Ultimate Comfort seat, and it pushed me forward at least an inch or two. So much so, that I was cramped on the bike (I'm about 5'9 with a 33" in-seam), so I sent it back. It also has a wide passenger seat. I can't speak to it's comfort on rides, but Saddlemen does have a good rep for comfortable seats, so you may want to look into that option.

Cheers!

 

Ultimate is a different company than Saddlemen. The one he is talking about is a certain model from Saddlemen. But that Corbin looks good on there. The break in period take a bit, but it conforms to your butt.

 

Might I suggest having a look at our Explorer line of seats , here is a link to our site that you can review the specs on the seat and see if they are about what you are looking for. Also keep in mind we can always do some minor foam modifications that can make a huge difference for you

I purchased a 2007 Night Train several years ago. I am 5'10" with 33" inseam. It was very uncomfortable to ride. Tried a custom seat that moved me forward and made reach to bars better but cramped my legs. I finally installed some 2" Sportster risers to move factory drag bars closer and that did the trick. Now I have (2) seats, the stock one and a Sundowner I bought used off of Ebay for $125, It is excellent for passenger and long trips for me.

One of the best purchases I've ever made in the motorcycle world has been a Mustang seat with rider backrest for me. Wife really liked the passenger portion too before she started riding her own Deluxe.
