Default Two up seats

Lookin for peoples opinion on the best two up seats out there for my 06' 883L. I really want somethin thats low profile but semi comfy for the woman. She pretty small so dont need no cruiser seat.

:raises hand:

have been through 3 diff seats on my bike until i came up with the one i have now... none had enough "butt time" for the +2 until i got the one i have now (wide mustang). low profile = not comfy for +2. trust me, she said so!
there are several low profile seats, and they are all fine for you- but none will give more than about 20 minutes of butt time for her.

this is the wide mustang- both of us can ride until the fuel runs low:

How about a stock "C" seat
I bet a few of us have them stuffed in the rafters

Default Mustang / Sundowner

I have a Mustang for the 2-up but that's not exactle low profile. Then I have the Mustang Tripper with the passenger seat matching it...let me tell you that pillion is NOT comfortable. The OL could probably do like 20 minutes on ie.

The HD Sidekick seat is sweet looking, but a bit on the hard side. A stock seat from a newer C is nice and does not look bad. I have to say I love my stock C seat and it's nice and comfee.

I recently picked up a Mustang Wide Touring Studded Solo Seat with Driver Backrest (#79439) and matching passenger seat (#79377) ( http://www.mustangseats.com/Categori...ats&reset=true' ). The passenger seat is not as comfortable as on the Sundowner (shown in the pic below), but my wife says it's all right. For me, the driver's backrest makes all the difference (Mustang is the only company I know of that makes a seat with a driver backrest for the SPortster).
