Better FLHX seat?
I am 6'1" and 215 lbs and wife is 5'9" and 120 lbs. I am trying to find a seat that will be more comfortable for her but still fit me ok. I have 10" ape hangers on and stock seat fits me pretty well but wife can't handle stock seat. Have been looking at sundowner, tall boy, and the stock Electra glide seat but don't know which would be better plus I am not crazy about the high profile of seat but to make wife more comfortable I will probably have to. Does anyone have some advice on seats?

I have a 09 street glide I wasnt happy with the stock seat..in 2010 I saw the S/E street glide..I liked the seat much better so I ordered 1..it sits lowers than my orginal stock seat & is much better & softer over a better ride..... here is a picture of it...

I bought the Corbin Hollywood Solo with a passenger pillon and love it. It's a firmer seat and it also comes in 2 different sizes for short and tall folks. The pillon comes in 2 width sizes and is removeable when the woman isn't riding with you and with a fender bib it looks awesome to-boot

I put the Tallboy seat on mine. I am 6'4". It feels good to me and my wife is very comfy on the back. It does change the lines of the bike a little due to the higher profile of the seat, but with a sissy bar/back rest on the back I dont believe it looks bad at all.

+1 on the Sundowner. My wife loves it!
The design of the Sundowner seat (wider under the thighs, with a deeper pocket in the rear) gives the illusion that you're sitting higher and closer, but in reality, you're close to the stock seating position.
