Default Looking for a seat

I'm looking for a seat similar to a Corbin Rumble seat (which is not available) for my 2011 Fat Boy. Does any other manufacturer make something similar? I like the fact that it looks like a 1-up seat, but can carry a passenger and the flip up part turns into a backrest. I don't see anything like that in the Mustang lineup. Any other places to look?

I quickly scanned over the info at the Corbin link, but I did not see where it says that it is unavailable....

How 'bout a Saddlemen Step Up seat ? Kind of similar, unless you HAVE to have the flip-up backrest...

They don't show them on the website for the Fat Boy so I emailed them and they said they do not offer it for the Fat Boy. I'm not sure what's different between a Softail and a Fat Boy.

I need the flip up backrest for the 'ol lady.

Maybe it's just me, but I think a real nice comfortable seat with a detachable backrest would be a better option, unless of course you're like I am pick up the occasional chick at the bar for a ride? But there's a weight limit if they're sitting on the fender.

Haha, well, it's more that I need a backrest for my wife, but when she gets off, I don't want something that gets removed to look slick again, that I have to carry around or find someplace to put it...not much storage on a Fat Boy.

I completely understand, here's a couple versions of what my Heritage is capable of.
Strickly Solo, back and forth to work, round town of whatever.

Solo road trips, can go for weeks on this set-up.


Or 2UP, we can go for weeks, I have about 4 different luggage choices I can go back and forth to. With the quick release backrest the bike strips right down.
