Default 2Up Saddle

Hello and help! I'm struggling to find a 2up seat which doesn't slope down at the rear for the pillion. I'm in the UK and can't find an appropriate seat for my girlfriend who wants to ride on the back of my Harley. The bike is a Sportster XL1200C 2017. Can any one point me in the direction of a UK supplier please?

I have found some great seats (Le Pera & Corbin) and have looked at importing from the US but the import costs are prohibitive.

Any assistance is most welcome.

Charles

Check out https://seats.dragspecialties.com/
Drag Specialties does have dealers in the UK and EU . FWIW I've bought two seats from them and am happy with both, the quality is very good.

Most dealers have demo seats. See if you can try a Sundowner.
