I am in the same boat. Not much advise other than what I hear such as mustang seats etc.
I am in the process of getting my rear pad redone by an apholestry shop. From my reasearch it seems all the good touring seats have an 14"or better rear seat and a stock softail is 12.5. With that in mind I will get mine at least that wide and have extra cushion or maybe gel added in and recovered and see it that makes the mrs. happy. I let you know how it goes.

Do a search here on C&C Seats also... I got my Fat Boy a few weeks ago and started researching here, and they were highly recommended. I just ordered the Sport Touring and Solo seats today, and will be picking them up on Saturday. The Sport Touring got good ratings for 2-up riding.

Here's a link to their web site:
http://www.ccseats.com/softail0607200Rtire.htm

I just did some searching, and can't find some of the threads that I found useful as the search engine won't take C&C, "C&C" or 'C&C' (results come up empty). I'll keep looking, but there is lots of previous discussion about comfortable seats here.

I am a mustang fan. I have a sport solo with rider backrest. I threw my stock seat in the trash can and never looked back.

Tail11....... Does your mustang solo seat cover up the bolts that the original seat used in the back and now use side frame bolts?? Thinking of getting it myself. Thanks.

I thought the seat that came on the custom was comfy???? Looks like a sofa on there.
