I'd suggest a Mustang touring seat. Wife's section is 14" wide and she'll love it. I've ordered from Dennis Kirk and they will exchange if your not happy. I've had Mustangs on my last 3 bikes and very happy with them.
Not trying to threadjack here but i just have one question about the Street Glide seats and i didnt want to start a new thread.
I just bought a street glide but i dont take delivery for another week or so. In the meantime I am looking at seat mods. 80% of my riding is done alone so I will want a solo seat but when the OL rides of course i will need a 2up. So my question is how difficult is it to switch back and forth from a solo to a 2up on a Street Glide?

Had a Mustang Touring seat for my WG, for two-up riding. Very comfy. Also got a LePera Cobra for solo riding - not so comfy on 600+ mile days, but great for shorter jaunts. With the Road King, I decided to go a different route/cut down on the multiple seats hanging on the garage wall, so I went to Rich's Custom Seats up here in the Great NorthWet. Kinda spendy, but have to say this route is worth it! Custom fitting, if you go there in person. Also can do mail-ins if further away. Re-shaped and added new custom foam where needed, plus gel pad installed. Thick leather cover replaced the stock vinyl, and breathes very well. The mod put me back about 1 1/2 inches in riding position, but still can use the stock backrest slot if I decide to go that route some day. They will do single or two-up custom fittings w/ gel pads. Really pleased with the result and the craftsmanship. Check 'em out.

My wife could not ride 60 miles on my RKC without complaining one year at Delmarva Bike week we went over to the Mustang tent and they put different seats on the bike to try them out. She picked the one she was comfortable with and for 60,000 miles she never complained again. I traded that bike this past summer and she likes the seat on the Ultra so I might get away with saving a few $$$.
