RE: Wife still ain't comfee
BadX,
I checked out the web site. It looks like you folks have seats "covered" I was going bsvk & forth between Corbin & Mustang...but I'm honestly considering giving you folks a yell instead!
-Clutch-
P.S. I have an 06 Heritage Classic. I want to figure something out for the seat...but aint sure what yet.

RE: Wife still ain't comfee
My wife hated the touring pillion, even with a gel pad.
i bought the mustang wide touring seat and she loves it.
i hate it !! it moves me foward, and when shes not on, the pillion jabs me in the back. i liked the stock seat, so i do alot of swapping back and forth.
the ultimate solution ?... Geezer Glide .

I have a Corbin seat... and my wife loves it! Not to mention the driver's backrest keeps them feeling "Locked In" so to say. The passenger backrest is just the HD brand, but the driver's is a true Corbin brand. You can buy backrest's for both seats, but I already had the passenger. One nice thing, is that you really can't even tell they are diffrent brands.

What worked for us, and no complaints since, was installing the Kuryakyn adjustable passenger pegs. The passenger can now move her feet from the Kuryakyn peg down to the stock HD peg, eliminating leg fatigue on those long runs. Since the install, the passenger also sits back rather than forward, helping to give more of a feeling of bracing on those stops.
The seat is stock ('03 Fatboy) with no complaints. I'm just glad that it only took adding these adjustable foot pegs without replacing the seat--saved money for more chrome!
I'd recommend these adjustable footpegs, especially for the shorter passenger.

I've got the Kury adjustable passenger pegs and the adapter to use the HD passenger boards and my wife likes them.
The position for the passenger on the Heritage puts their feet behind their knees which is uncomfortable and tends to make the passenger feel tlike they will fall forward. The adjustables let her pick her feet up and forward which was just what she needed.
still looking for a seat w/backrest or backrest that works for me though....damn this is getting expensive..........
