Default 2008 seat upgrade

Bought a 2008 Fatboy with stock seat. Wife says we need to upgrade , stocker is to hard and her's leans forward.
Any suggestions for a good 2hr seat?

The seat game can be an expensive game to play. Better let her pick the seat. Good luck! Mustange is popular but, there are a bunch of others. I've always stuck with Mustang or Corbin. Corbin's are generally hard so prolly not a fit.

If you are talking about the seat I have for sale - It's through 2010.

I've had a Mustang with back rest for me for 15 or more years. Excellent choice on the 2002 Fat Boy that I bought new and am still riding. Mama has her own bike so passenger pillion has been eliminated for years.
For a time I had a 2013 Street Glide that I bought new. Put a Corbin on it and I agree with your opinion about it being hard.
