Need a better passenger seat than the stock pillion
Hello! I have a 2016 Softail Slim S, with detachable passenger seat and sissy bar but the stock pass seat is the size and thickness of a Hostess Twinky! I'm having trouble finding a better passenger seat that fits a Softail Slim without buying both rider & passenger seat. I don't know why it's so difficult to find a wider/thicker pass seat! PLEASE HELP!

Thanks LangWilliams! But I'm looking to get a passenger seat more for all day rides. I live in a very mountainous area of NY and road conditions are not all that great. It's killing the ole lady's butt so much she's threatening not to cook me Pastavazool anymore, MAMAMIA, I can't have that!

Haven't seen anything that matches up to the stock Slim seat other than the stock one.
Been thinking about having something made myself. My wife has threatened to stop making manicotti.... Them's fightin' words right there!

version of stock king/queen I guess. Don't know bout my passengers comfort cause I don't care and don't like em. I can tell you that my back is so much better with the Corbin. Like night & day also looks way better. Cheaper than Mustang & may have a pad for you. A fan of Corbin looks over Mustang here. Good luck !

I picked up a used Corbin an swap it on for longer rides...it just looks bigger an not as clean an flowing. Sounds like either you have to get creative an make something for a fatboy or heritage work, get a touring seat for long rides or possibly sending the stock pavilion to a seat shop to be reworked.

Thanks to you all! I knew by joining this forum I'd get some good solutions! Grazie to Langwilliams, Zanthamos, Axis39, Sleeko, Jaws77! I will be checking into all these suggestions! Checked out the Airhawk cushion, looks interesting but need to look at the custom idea, Corbin & Mustang. You all have been great help! Salute!🇮🇹🇺🇸
