Default Best Seat for Low Rider S

Hey guys, looking to buy a 2 up seat for my lrs. My girl does ride with me here and there so looking for something that will be comfy for her too. I know Saddlemen offers the gel core but heard it's still not that comfy. And heard whiplash is hard as rock. Anyone have any more input on their seats or other brands? I want something that will keep me in the seat too cuz I do ride the bike hard. Any info is appreciated. Trying to order asap

I like the Saddlemen Explorer LS, but I haven’t seen one on a LRS.
It should be comfy for sure and it’s available with the driver backrest also.

The problem is that all the seats that look good aren't great for passengers. I've run the saddlemen step up on my last bike and my S, and it's an awesome seat and fine for a passenger for a short run, but if you are logging miles, she's gonna complain. You need a big wide bulky passenger seat for any long term comfort in my opinion. And they are all fugly.

I have the Sundowner from HD, it's very comfortable but does need to be broken in. I didn't care for the looks at first but it's growing on me.

I have the Saddlemen Step up on my bike, which is extremely comfy for me, but not so much for my wife. She doesn't ride with me often though and I like the looks and reviews, which is why I went with it.

From what I've researched, the Lepera Kickflip is better for passengers if you still want a similar look. I almost went with that one, but like the way the Saddlemen fits on the Street Bob specifically.

I second the Sundowner. It is comfortable for me and my wife.

Saddlemen's Explorer line up of seats are made for the cruising two up.
Pretty sure Saddlemen makes an Explorer RS for the Lowrdider S if you drop them an email.
Their gel seats aren't cushy because cushy plush lets your pressure points get stressed more over time.
They take a little while to break in, but their have a good set of big wide 2up seats for the LRS.

Everyone i've heard who's done long distance on a saddlemen has absolutely loved it.
