I agree. Start from the ground up. I have finally cured bottoming out on my bike, by fitting superior shocks. Only after the ride quality is improved is it worth considering a seat. Give Howard at HDF sponsor Motorcycle Metal a call and talk through custom shocks tailored to suit you both.
My wife and I did a 2,500 mile tour last year and she had had enough shortly after halfway. This year we did a similar trip with our Ohlins and she was fine through the whole trip, on the same Corbin seat. She calls our suspension upgrade "an unqualified success"!

I gave up on trying to find a seat that my wife liked. Bought a mustang (which I like) and had an upholsterer modify her section with 1 inch of cross-gel and 1 inch of memory foam. Dang thing feels like it has pudding inside it, but she's happy.

I have the corbin seat and lowered 1" so like the other guys said starting with the suspensionis a good idea.My girlfriend has back problems also and the other day i put about 30 lbs in the rear shocks and that seemed to help her alot.Plus i am sending the seat off too Mean city cycles to have them work on it and see if that will help her also.
