It will look like this: nevermind. Different pad. but you get the idea with the plain pad. the one your talking about will be a little wider.

liquidr1 is showing the smooth top-stitched backrest, which is what I have mounted to my med-low sissy bar.

The Smooth "Bucket" is a MUCH wider pad, I'd say around 12 inches... my wife liked that bucket backrest too, but I thought it looked like a friggin lazy boy lounge chair on the Fatboy. As a compromise in looks, I got the Fatboy pillion for her little *** and the smooth top stitched pad like liquidr1.

So far she hasn't noticed and she hasn't complained...... yet. ;-)

Good luck!

Just another choice. The wife really thinks this one is comfortable.

One of the 1st mods I did was to make the wife a lot more comfy back their.

The stock pillion seat and SS bar pad really sucked on the 07, way to thin.

I got her the tourning seat, touring SS bar pad, detachable bar for me, then add floorboards for her...

She does have a bad tailbone so the bumps bothers her more than most,

But after all the changes she can now ride for 4-5 Hrs easy compared to 1/2 -1 hr with the stock set up before she'd start hurting and we have to go in for a while.

Well worth the $$$ for her comfort and it made ridding a lot more fun for Her.

For Ur FB U can buy the same seat and SS pad without the Spots on them to match Ur bike.

Ton of choices out there and if you want to save some money watch CL or eBay. I see them all the time and for a fraction of the cost new. I have gotten a few things off of CL and for pennies on the dollar too. A new tank painted for my bike at the stealer, 1500.00 bucks. Just primed ready to paint, 800.00 bucks. I got one off of CL list for 200.00 and the guy even threw in the fuel pump for free.
