Default Seat Question

My wife has recently started riding with me (finally), but she's not happy with the stock seat on my Street Glide. Nor is she happy with the passenger pillion for my Danny Gray Big Seat (which I love). She has a boney butt and claims that both seats hurt her tail bone. I was looking at a HD Comfort Stitch seat, a mustang 2 up touring seat or even a seat mod. Both of my seats work great for me, but I need something to throw on when she wants to join me. Any feedback, especially from boney butted wives would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mustang seat or HD Sundowner may be your ticket. I would prefer Mustang seat.

My wife loves the Mustang touring seat I put on my SG for longer rides. It's much more comfortable - especially for the passenger.
