I just got a Danny Grey solo that is substantially shorter and narrower but after a couple hours in it It's just as comfortable as the stock one.

Yeah the softail seat uses the rear screw for the stock passenger pillion seat. Straight swap. No mods.

HD Brawler with passenger pillion. Moved me forward a little so I removed some of the foam and reinstalled the cover. Very comfortable now.

Pillion can come off and shows off that big wide fender.

Does the Softail Standard seat give you more room on the bike? I've talked about this before with hechocho,,,

I'm not worried about another rider, if it aint my wife it aint nobody, according to her and she's not a big fan of riding, no matter how many different helmets I buy her,,,,,oh, sorry, back to business.

Looking for something that will move me down and back. More leg room on the boards. I like the way the Standard seat looks.

Has anyone tried to put a Nite Train seat on a Fatboy. Probably speaking out of my rear, may be the same seat as the standard.

Any input?

Mustang Vintage Sport has my vote. Awesome seat. I have the removeable back rest, but I rarely use it...seat is super comfortable.

Im using a C&C lo-pro 2up. Its not listed for the 200mm bikes, but i called and they made it for me. Its lowest profile seat they have in a 2up. Not the most comfortable, but looks good i think.

I just got the C&C Sport Tour seat and after about 200 miles on it, I'm not impressed, neither was she. I like the way it sits me down, however, I think it moves me forward a bit. The thing is hard as a rock, maybe I need to let it work in. I also have a LePera BareBones solo which I like. I rode from Maryland to Myrtle Beach Bike Week on the stock seat and that actually wasn't to bad. The thing I don't like about the stock is is sits me up to high. The search is still on for a comfy two-up seat that pleases me and her, which could be the mother of all challenges.
