Default Comfortable (but still nice-looking) 2-up seat recommendations?

Guys,
I want an H-D only seat that's both somewhat comfortable & nice-looking. I have a stock '07 FXDC 2-up seat on my bike now & it's just not too comfy for both me & the wife after riding more than a couple hours. I'm not too thrilled with it's looks either. I don't want nothing too bulky-looking like a Sundowner or Tallboy, but nothing too thin-looking like the Stripper either. What'd ya think? The Screamin' Eagle Dyna 2-up seat...the Sidekick maybe?

I have the HD Badlander ($200?) that suits our two-up needs. My wife can do about 150 on it without discomfort. I bought a Buttybuddy for her, but haven't tried it out yet. I like the look of the Badlander best of all the true two up seats. The Stripper looks slimmer, but that pass section is a narrow joke.

I like the look of the New H-D rack with the clip on pillion seat. Seat "looks" well padded and you just un-clip it and you have a rack you can put a roll bag on, etc. , keeping the solo look. Says not available until Sept.
Just a thought.

I think I'd go with the Screamin' Eagle seat. It looks the best of 2 up seats, I haven't rode one, but I have sat on them, and they seem real nice.

I'm not sure why you're narrowing the possibilities to H-D only -- maybe some money on account with a dealer? Anyway, I have a LePera Daytona 2UP that looks good and is comfortable. I find a firm, sculpted seat more comfortable than a pillowy one. I can't speak for the pillion comfort, as I seldom have a passenger and when I do it is only for a short ride.

The HD SE Dyna 2-up is an excellent seat, but have no experience on passenger comfort, just rider comfort. And it looks are good as well.

I got the sundowner deep bucket for my wife. She claims that the sundowner isn't any more comfortable than the stock lowrider seat. In fact I love my stock seat.
Have you considered getting foam or gel installed in your stock seat for the passenger portion?
