Default Comfortable seat

Any opinions on a comfortable seat (2 up) for a Fatty? Also, I have those Big Radius pipes, and my wife's boot has melted on my pipe. Does anyone know something that will take that off? Does anyone know of a passenger floorboard that will fit my bike with these pipes? The parts guy at my Harley dealership said there were no options. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey i dont know about the seat thing, but i run the big radious as well and have had marks left from shoes. Bike brite took all of the stuff off of mine, i was suprised acually it worked really well. As for the floor boards i made my own, i put htem on but I am trying to get them plated now. A talked a little about them in the Harley Skull parts thread, anyway i plan on trying to do a small batch of them this fall/spring.

I may be interested if you are thinking of selling them. Let me know, and I would like to see some pics when you get them back from plating. I appreciate your info.

www.kuryakyn.com/. They were P/N 7907 and a set of male style mounts #8008.

Corbin Dual Tour is a great seat. I had one on my bike prior to my wife getting her own ride. Very comfortable for rider and passenger.

I had a Sundowner seat from H-D. It was much better than stock in comfort and lower back support. The seat developed a huge bubble in the middle during the heat of Rolling Thunder this past year. Contacted H-D and they actually gave me a credit for it!

Anyway..I am looking for a better than stock seat as well for my '05 Fat Boy.

What seat is good for a bad back? I have a sundowner seat on my 07 fatboy, it is better than stock. After an hour of riding though, it feels like it's made out of iron.
