RE: softail seats
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.

RE: softail seats
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.

I just put a Mustang wide vintage on my 06 Standard. Myself and the wife love the seat! Still need to update my Sig. Pic...
