+1 on the touring seat! I have an 08 Street Bob and the wife loves it. Also has good lower back support for me. Gives you the feel of "sitting in" it instead of on it.

I would highly recommend a Le Pera Maverick. I think my wife actually likes the seat more than me. I have about 12,000 miles on it and my wife and I have put upwards of 400 miles on it riding together.

x2 on the mustang seat and passenger pillion. My girlfriend loves it. I had a close friend and let him use it from time to time until he got his own for his wife. He ended up getting the narrower one and his wife stated how much she loved my seat. I wouldn't give up my mustang and based on the feedback from these two Mustang passenger pillion is my recommendation for you.

Sounds like you have some money wrapped up into the badlander. Also hard to beat as far as looks go. Keep it and get one of these. http://www.buttybuddy.com/ Only on when shes on.

I use a sundowner and backrest for two up riding. It kind of ruins the look of the bike, but at least its quick enough to take off, and its certainly comfortable.

Got a wide glide seat on mine. Wife loves it, and we do 300-500 mile days often. But there are thousands of choices.

Smile my two cents

I have the same problem, my stock seat on my 2010 FXDC, wife complaint is butt hurts.
Rode for six hours with it and I have not problems great seat for me.

I pick up a Sundowner seat and tried it out.
She loves it - i hate it.
It changed my whole riding position. I sit higher in the saddle and moves you forward

I am still looking hope to find a seat that my portion is exactly like the stock and back wide and con fey for the wife

A sundowner was on my fxdc when I bought it, wife loves it! It definitely puts you higher and closer but I think most of the touring type seats do that, its fine with me. When she is off I use bare bones by lepera...I love it.
