I have a standard with factory seats and can ride for 200+ miles without stopping (belly tank, of course...) AND in relative comfort. 

However, the wife's hind side tends to ache a bit after an hour or so on that narrow back seat. 

Is there a larger passenger seat than stock?? 
Or anyone have an old seat pan they'd give up so I can widen it myself??

An "all in one" front/rear seat or seat pan would work too.

Thanks!

Ultimate's pillion is wider and most comfortable.

Passenger pillion cushion will solve the problem.
She'll sit a little higher in the wind, but float on air.

I agree with Jess, except I would go with the Airhawk (not the Airhawk 2) because it's made of higher quality of materials. The best price can be found at bikercushion.com. They also offer some other passenger options you might want to consider. I sure like my Airhawk, medium for my keaster.  :coolsmiley:

If you work it like I did get her the ultimate first. After she see how much better it is, she won't object to you getting you one. Then you'll need a backrest about the time your birthday comes arround and your covered. It worked for me. :cooldude:

Had mine repaded by 7 Angels out of Corpus Christie, He uses Timpepedic material and does great work @ 361-288-9587 Tell him MOODY sent you

I believe that any aftermarket passenger seat is better than stock. The wife and I have been on Mustang seats for the past 3 years, but we're moving to Ultimates now.

Anybody want to buy a nice set of Mustangs?

Damn thing gives me the grins every time I get on it!

That's what I did.  Put a front seat on the rider seat pan.  Found the seats on ebay.
