I'm curious as to how the passenger comfort is.

I just ordered one too. I found little feedback on this seat for a Sportster in a forum search but what I did find was positive.

I'm hoping to keep the lines of the bike and increase my comfort. If it doesn't work it's Sundowner time for me.

Mine arrived yesterday!

It is similar in size to the original, a littlethicker and a little narrower at the front,but definitely has a denser foam. Hopefully this denser foam will translate to more comfort as advertised.I like that it keeps the lines of the bike.

I can't go for a ride because our weather has gone bad on us up here in the arctic circle (Minnesota). It was 81 degrees 10 days ago, right now it's 19 degrees. Where's the global warming when you need it Al Gore?

I am excited to get out and ride as it appears, initially, like it will be more comfortable than the original seat. I will give a report after I put on some miles but right now it looks like at least a week before I can get out and ride.

I ordered one today direct from Mustang (10 day return policy) I have not been able to find a review of it anywhere that mentions 2 up comfort.

When I got the seat and took it out of the box I was concerned at how firm the foam felt to the touch. Once I had it on and went for a ride I knew I had found the right seat.
