Default Seat Recommendations?

I've been looking for a new seat for my '05 springer classic. I'm looking for a two-up option that is comfortable for the passenger as well but I am trying to find a seat with the lowest possible profile. Something that is comfortable for a few hundred miles before getting numb without the look of a recliner on the rear fender. I'd prefer a two piece but am open to any suggestions. I doubt I'm the only one that likes a clean look without too much bulk, can anyone make any recommendations?[sm=burnout.gif]

Hey Coaster, I have a Saddlemans "Explorer" with the gel pads and it is comfy!! The wife would complain about the stock badlander seat on my Train after ten miles, but I can put 150+ on the new seat and feel fine. www.saddlemen.com is their website and I highly recommend them for service and comfort.

Here is a pic of the wife's Softail Heritage with a Corbin Dual Tour seat. She has ridden 650 miles a day on it with no problems. We rode it two up for 450 miles once and were comfortable. They are a little pricy, but the most comfortable seat you can get IMO.





Regards,

Bill
