Exactly! Helped the girlfriend out tremendously on our rides.

Another vote for the Mustang Vintage or Vintage Wide (I have the two up Vintage Wide). My GF I can run all the way to reserve and not feel like we need to get off the bike.

Yet another vote for the Mustang Vintage Wide. I also have the backrest (picture below). Helps immensely if you happen to have a low back problem. With this Mustang seat, I can ride all day without a problem. My wife says it's great too.



Prior to the Mustang seat, I had the H-D Touring seat (picture below). It looked like it would be comfortable and provide at least a little low back support, but when I sat it in it, it just felt like it was bowl-shaped. My back would start aching after just an hour of riding.

Small stock seat. Looks better, but sucks for the long hauls:



Mustang Wide. Fantastic for long rides, but very bulky and not sleek by any means. Comfort factor is VERY high.



Two up, wife LOVES it.

I thought my stock FXDF seat was okay for everything except the long haul for the rider, and was only good for very short trips for a passenger. Too soft and wobbly feeling. So I did some research, and because I like firm support, I went with a Corbin Duo Tour. LOVE IT. Quality and comfort. You pay for it, but it's worth the price in my opinion.

Then I hankered for a coll solo seat that would be good for day to day and also a few long trips. Read all the great reviews here for the Mustang Vintage and went for a Vintage Wide. Hated it. Soft and wobbly again. Tried to save money, but it was very uncomfortable for me. So I went with a Corbin Classic Solo. LOVE it. I'm set for the life of the bike.

Again, another vote for the Mustang Vintage solo. Did several long trips on it and I don't feel any need to look for another seat. Very comfortable!

Definitely not the LePera Barebones. I kept my stock seat for those occasions.
