Default Best 2-Up Seat for Tall Husband and Short Wife

I’m looking for the best 2-up seat option for me and my wife and I was hoping to get some ideas about which one would be best. I have a 2010 SG and I’m trying to get my wife involved with riding, but my current custom seat does not have a very large or comfortable passenger pillion. I’m 6’3” tall so I need a seat that will put me as low and as far back as possible and offer my short wife a wide, thick, cushy section to sit on. I don’t really care what it looks like because it won’t be a permanent fixture on the bike. I’ll only use it when she rides with me. Any advice on this?

I have a 2011 RKC. I'm 6'1...wife is 5'9. I spent an incrediable amount of time researching seats. I went with Le Pera. All they make is Harley seats. They've been making them since 1972. Mine took two weeks to get, I just got it on Friday. Below is the link. Check em out. I ordered the Maverick. It is "perfect". Awesome quality, comfy for us both and man, does it look good. PM me. I'll send ya some pics.

I'm 6'2" amd wife 5'4". Have HD Tallboy on my Limited which is OK for leg room but does not leave much room behind for passenger or backrest. Tall boy does not have much lower back support so a backrest is needed. Thinking of trying the Hammock or Mustang Super Touring. I may eventually move Tour Pak back a little to give passenger more room.

Photo is stock HD seat.
