if you do a search on this site there is a fellow that will take your stock seat and make you whatever you really want. Have you tried gel inserts? Pillion seats for the passenger on breakouts are available or look for two up seats.
I use a Danny Gray solo Butt Crack and there is a passenger pillion they sell too.

I just took my OEM seat to a local upholstery shop and had them put in a gel pad and new foam shaped to my specs. I had the passenger pillion raised up for better back support and narrowed the nose for ease of putting my feet down and pushed back about an 1" because I'm 6'1". I did the same thing on my 14 SGS back in 2015 and I've kept that seat and it's now on my 21 RKS. I wholeheartedly believe in getting a seat customized to your needs instead of buying an aftermarket seat and hope it works out.

This might be the ultimate Breakout engine guard!
It's by a place in Brazil apparently: Worldwide Wings Custom. That's TWO INCH diameter tubing, and apparently the workmanship is pretty exquisite. Given the weight of a more typical 1.25" tubing engine guard, this one must weigh about 20 lb I would estimate!
The retired police motorcycle officer who runs the "Preload" website got one and did a short video with it on his 2023 Breakout. It DOES look gorgeous in the video. But, very, very costly.

Agree with your assessment…bike handles fine and the suspension is fine. I was actually surprised at how comfortable the Breakout rides and how well it handles given the 34 degree rake and 240 rear. I believe Harley has engineered the chassis to get the best out of it despite the constraints for styling.

On the 2023 and later Breakouts (the models with the 2018+ Softail frame), how are the passenger seat and the rear fender attached to the frame of the Breakout? Is it via those externally visible angled chrome pieces that also house the docking points, or is there other support not externally visible?

I haven't poked around enough underneath yet to comment on the fender itself, but on the '24 the passenger seat is secured by just a single screw at the back, smack in the middle of the fender. At the front of the passenger seat, the plastic baseplate has two grooves that slide under the mounting bolts that secure the driver seat.
