two up seating suggestions
i have a SG and will be purchasing a new seat for two up riding longer distances with my wife.
i am looking at purchasing a comfort stich HD seat as it has the largest passenger papillion of 16" and sits up higher to let her see over me a little. this seat looks alot or maybe the same seat as the standard ultra seat but made for a SG/ Road King.
any other suggestions?

I have a comfort stich that I put on for two-up riding - wifey loves it.
If you want to see what it looks like on a SG:

I have a sundowner as well.. Tall gf loves it... if you need a pic, check my photo album.
Have heard good things about Mustangs as well, but we tried the Sundowner and liked it, and had it put on pre-delivery.

I have a Sundowner, the one made for the Street Glide on my SG. Wife loves it and I like it also. I keep the stock one for looks and use the Sundowner for any longer rides.

RE: two up seating suggestions
I'm pretty sure my bike came with the comfort stitch seat ( 06 EGS ).
I like it and my wife falls asleep on the back all the time.
Seats are one of those things that any two people could love or hate depending on their physical build.
I see them all the time for sale cheap , so you might find a used/nice one pretty descent .
You might be able to swap with an area rider and see if it could work for you first.
I'm about 5'8" and 175 lbs , and it works for me.

The stock Ultra seat (Comfort Stitch) is fine for me. Added a backrest and have 18,000 miles on it. No complaints.
But then I ain't as whiney as some folks.

RE: two up seating suggestions
the seat swap thing would be great but the SG and the RK are the same standard seats and the only two that use that type of a seat , as the console is diffrent on the tank from the SG & RK to the ultras and road glides (or atleast that is my understanding)
i like the looks of a sundowner seat but did not think that is had enough lift for my wife
she is use to riding on our last Harley and 96 Electra glide. that had a taller rear seat like the comfort stich like comes standard on a EG
