My wife is very happy with the Fatboy pillon. I customized it by adding suction cups under the pillon. So I could clean up the fender, no holes anymore and very easy to install.

I ordered the touring pillion today. Thanx for the feedback. I have a gel pad handy, just in case. I also ordered the Krome Werks luggage rack. Hopefully, that will do it for awhile.............KC

Default Pic of passenger pillion on Deluxe

I just changed my setup from stock to the Springer seat with the wider passenger seat. I'm 6'1" and needed the extra leg room. Springer puts me up and back a couple inches. Can't believe how much padding is in the seat. Added the backrest also. I like the look of the solo setup better but the good news is everything is quick release. Pic is a little dark.

She doesn't bitch about it, she just mentioned that her thighs were sore after a 80 mile ride without a stop last week. My legs would likely be sore 2 if i had sit on that thing.

For the guys who prefer the solo look, ad the suctioncups under the pillion. The pillion sticks like glue. You don't have to change your solo seat. It was one of the easiest mods.

On our Heritage, the 07 pillion sucked big time...


after I got the wife the touring seat and back rest, plus the floor boards her riding time went from 1/2hr to 3-5 hrs a day without pain.....
