Default Need Help

Looking for a comfortable rear passenger seat for a 2011 FatBoy Lo.
The one that came on the bike is narrow and the wife can only take it for about an hour.
Then she starts to squirm around back there.
Any suggestions would be helpfull

HD makes a touring pilon, better than stock but still not great. All depends on the, may I say size of the passenger. A custom seat may be on your future. I personally think comfort is first then appearance.

Got the touring pillion on my deluxe and now the GF has no problems riding all day. She says it's not so much her butt but the edge of the seat used to grind her inner thighs, now the touring pillion is wider and she is fine

Pulled the plug on a complete Mustang seat for her and me.
Might as well treat both our back sides nicely.

2010 Deluxguy:
If I made that suggestion I wouldn't have to worry about the seat anymore. Would be in the hospital so could't ride anyway. Haha
