Default What's a good replacement seat for Heritage?

I am getting ready to replace my stock seat with an aftermarket seat. The passenger pillon is not comfortable for the wife, and the rider seat has no back support. Looking for opinions on;
1. What seat have you put on your bike (Manufacturer, style, model)?
2. Are you happy with your choice?
3. How long are you able to stay in the saddle?
Pictures (If available) would be great.
Thanks for all replies.

Stock seat, custom rider backrest, Road King passenger backrest, wide touring HD passenger seat. Stay in the seat as long as I want.

I don't care what anyone says or tells you. When i had my heritage, my wife told me she needed more comfort. the best seat for both of you is th eHD Sundowner. she will be happy and so will you. After that i put a sundowner on my roadking and my electra glide. the wifes screwed now because the new bike im picking up saturday is a cross bones. she'll have to deal with the small passenger pillion. lol

I put on the Heritage style HD Sundowner seat, B4 I went this route I got the HD touring passenger pillion & it was great for my wifebut not so much for me, still no lower back support. The Sundowner gave me the lower back support I was looking for & sat me at a little bit of a different angle, more of a sit in the bike vs. sit on the bike. The Sundowner's passenger seat is much thicker than stock & just as thick as the touring passenger pillion but not as wide, still way better over stock & much more comfortable for the passenger.

To see it on aHeritage just click on the camera symbol under my name, stats & logo.

Later,
Dan

We have the HD Sundowner on our Heritage and it is wonderful. We couldn't be happier with it.

I also have the HD Sundowner and also put on the larger back rest for the wife. Much better then stock. Does sit you a little different on the bike, then the stock seat, italso gives you better lowerlumbar support.

I have an 08 Heritage and wifey couldn't ride 10 minutes w/o pain.. Friday I received and installed the Mustang Wide Solo W/ Driver Backrest & Rear Seat and the Recessed Sissybar Pad.. Saturday morning we went for a drive. I kept asking her if she was okay.. She said it's great, lets keep going! Rode more than 200 miles and could have kept going..She and I both love this combo.. I've had a couple lower back operations and the drivers backrest really helps take the strain off.
