Softail Deluxe seats

For those who have been riding a while, can you recommend the most comfortable passenger seat and backrest for an '06 Softail Deluxe. I don't mind spending the money, but I want to be sure to get the right one. If momma ain't happy.....

Thanks!

Any problems mounting the passenger floor boards with the duals? I'd like what you have but, with chrome brackets.

The dealer told me that the one side was tough. They got them on. I like them.

Wide Pillion Seat

As a passenger a bit on the heavier side I can tell you that this seat did nothing to to really help except to put off the pain about 20 minutes longer than the normal seat. I am not sure if changing the passenger foot pegs will help or not, my Husband and I are looking into getting a mustang seat or finding someone to make a custom seat to fit me.

I like my Sundowner pretty good. The wife never rode with me with the stock seat.......she seems to like the Sundowner tho. I do have a detachable backrest too. She likes the shorter one better than the large one. Of course nothing I do will suit her now. I made the mistake of renting an ultra and taking her on a weekend trip. Heck, she didn't even want to get off the bike when I gassed up!!
