I need some help from you guys over here on the softail side. I have a friend who rides an 03 Softail Standard. He needs a two-up seat that is more comfortable for his new wife. Her back and butt can't take more than 70 miles a day on the one they have now. They like the look and feel of the seat that comes on the Softail Customs but we haven't found anyone who makes one even similiar to it for the Standard. I told him to look at the Mustang Regal Duke and a backrest or just buy a dresser to haul her around on. Can anyone give me a suggestion for a seat that he can explore? In this case, comfort is more important than looks.

 

mustang, corbin, and saddlemen, start there, all 3 make great seats, it all comes down to personal taste but they are all good quality seats.

 

I have a Mustang Daytripper on my Night Train. Pretty comfortable and looks good too.

 

"If" the Standard's rear strut holes will match up to the Custom's sissy bar, and they really like the Custom seat look, then this would be an option. I really like mine. You won't find better rider hip and back support even without the "optional" back support (don't even use mine) and the passenger seat is a 12x12, maybe not the widest, but excellent quality, and will break in for a custom fit after about 1k.

I have a gunslinger on my 03 standard my wife calls it the p***y splitter I have to put the stock seat on it every time she rides.

 

For us it would be the Corbin Gunfighter & Lady with backrest.

 

went with the mustang pillow top and the wife likes it on my 04 std.

 

I had the seat from the "Custom" put on my 06 Standard (see picture) and for me it was a very comfortable seat. However my wife just hated it, it was to narrow and not enough padding for her. She is 5'4" and weighs in at about 130 lbs.



I went with the Mustang Wide Touring seat and couldn't be happier. I can do a 300 mile day with no problems, and the wife is a happy passenger.

 

You could pick up a stock fxstc seat and sissy bar off ebay for under $200, pretty good deal, and that seat is damn comfy.

 

Mustang wide touring solo with the wide (14") for the passenger. This wide pasenger seat looks alitlle out of place on the soft tail standard but
comfortable, and with the solo you can go solo only or order a smaller passenger seat (which I think looks better) for the shorter rides.
