Default Passenger seat suggestions

My buddy has a 98 RK and his wife gets a sore bottom when she rides with him. He has a stock seat and also that comfy couch type seat and neither one works for her. Is there anything he can add to the seat, gel pad, ect. to make riding better for her. Her longest ride has been about 70 miles, stop for a while then home and she is sore for a day or two. I think she broke her tail bone when younger and that is what bothers her the most. We like to ride as couples but a longer ride is out of the question for her. Any suggestions.

I know a few people who have gel seat pads from AM Specialties and love them (no too expensive)
http://www.amspecialtiesusa.com/gelpad.htm
I never tried them myself,I got the the air-ride seat as a fathers day gift and love it. (Very expensive)
OR...he could just leave the wife home!!! (no cost at all!)

shmoo, talk to Allen at www.meancitycycles.com. He is a forum member, and can modify your buddies seat anyway he wants it, and he is very reasonable.

Corbin. They feel too firm initially, but they are the most comfortable seats I've found for long hauls. I won't ride anything else by choice.

The UC come stock with a comfort stitch seat. it is a great seat comparable to the Sundowner I have on my WG. There were some Comfort Stitch seats for sale on e-bay. My wife really likes the CS seat
