After reading hundreds of posts and visiting many websites I decided to order a Corbin Dual Tour for the Fat Bob. Want real comfort for my lady passenger and I think this will provide it. Expensive choice but she's worth it.

Have the Screaming Eagle seat on my FXD. Good looking seat but not too comfortable for longer rides - i'd say it's a little firmer than the stock seat. Just ordered a mustang vintage seat to try and add a little comfort.

I put a Mustang Regal Duke on my bike last week. It is super comfy and I think it would look great on a Fat Bob:

I havent seen those seats but I heard the mustang vintage solo with pillion is comfortable and I saw pics and it looks good. I am ordering one soon for mine.

I have a "Sidekick Custom" on my 05 FXDCI. It's a great looking seat and I actually find it to be quite comfortable, despite the fact that it's very firm. It's similar in feel to a Corbin I had on another bike. Takes a few weeks to "break in" but the shape is real good for me. It also puts me lower and further back on the bike, which I like. It is NOT a good seat for a passenger. When my wife is riding with me, I swap it out for a Sundowner, which has a much more comfortable passenger section.

I put a 2009 Street Bob seat on mine and personally I think it looks good as hell. I'm sure there are more comfortable seats out there but I like this one.

I agree that looks nice. I wanted longdistance two up though. . . I really don't think I want my gal on a pillion pad for that. I really debated long and hard because a solo seat is so cool. I like the stock seat a lot as well, but the passenger section is just for short jaunts.

sorry man I think I jumped too fast. I didn't even read the thread and I had solo in my mind.

good luck with what you find....I am considering a sundowner for me and the wife but otherwise I am quite happy with the stock seat.

Heck no problem. You had solo in mind with your headlight too!

For long distance, two-up riding, I'd get the biggest and most comfortable seat you can get....then swap it for something more stylish when going solo.
