New seat, removing drag specialties
Hey guys, this is my first Harley so I need some help. My girl hates my rear seat, I can undertatand why too there's barely any padding. I have a drag specialties seat on there now. I'm looking for something low profile like the current seat. However a little more comfort for both her and I. Recommendations? Thanks all.

Sorry all, Softail Standard FXST.
I like the look of the current seat, but it isn't the most comfortable. I can live with it but the g/f hates to ride cause of how stiff the seat is.
Here's a pic of the bike, thanks.

Thanks, great suggestion I may have to look into this. Just don't know what I'd do without a seat in the mean time, I'd be lost without the bike for a week or two.

Low profile = no comfort for her..
U seem to be more worried about the looks of U bike than her comfort.
U gonna have to get something that has some thickness (padding and width to it)
I got my wife the touring package for her comfort, (Touring - seat - sissybar pad - floorboards)
Heres a pic of how the bike looks with the Touring stuff I put on when she rides which is 95% of the time
the pic in my sig shows the look when I ride solo.
She can now ride all day in comfort VS less than an hr with the stock setup our bike came with.

She doesn't ride the bike much, but when she does I want it to be comfortable for her. Yes I'm worried about the looks of the bike, why have something I don't like (big couch cushion seats). I'd like something somewhat low profile.

That's a sharp bike, I think the touring setup looks great on your bike.
I considered a sissy bar setup as well, I may have to look into that.
