Default Heritage passenger seat recommendation
I have a 91 FLSTC with the original stock seat. My wife complains that the seat is too high and would like it lower. The stock passenger seat pad measures about 4.5". Any recommendation on an after market seat that has less padding for the passenger but still comfortable?

Cheers,
Oakleyrider

You could do like I did and instead of replacing the seat, replace the old lady. I went for a ride to get her a seat and never went back. Now I got me a little hard body chick that is grateful I even let her ride with me...

My Softail has a Solo seat with an inflatable passenger seat. My wife says it's very comfortable. When we get off the bike she rolls it up and puts it in her bag.
Everybodys happy!

Check this place out.
My passenger seat is much lower, wider, and gel filled.
