Default More comfortable seat for 05 night train

I am asking this question for a friend who I sold my night train to. He needs a more comfortable seat for the bike due to prior back injury. He certainly wants something that doesn't take too much away from the stripped down bar hopper look, but something that offers more comfort so he can log more miles in the saddle per trip. We realize that you can't have both extreme comfort and a great look, but can you guys recommend a good compromise? If you can, photos would be appreciated. He is sort of leaning towards the mustang vintage solo and&nbsp\\;detachable rear pad with rider back rest. Any help will be appreciated.

I have an older version of the HD Sundowner seat on my 05 NT and love it. It even looks okay, as its width matches the tank. Mine has the concho and studs. I had spine surgery years ago, so this helped both me & my passenger! I found the seat on Ebay last year. Good luck.
