Ive heard mixed reviews on the Kuryakyn Hyper Charger, was thinking about going that route bud decided against it because of unnecessary moving parts, there is cheaper and better available. I use a medium low detachable sissy bar with a small pad. it looks good and has plenty support. get something that will actually work for your gal. As already mentioned the HD sundowner (pic below) is a very comfortable seat

nice choice for your first Harley ,
the pipes you fancy may be a bit harsh on long runs , they are pretty loud ,you will both go deaf , something like rush slip ons are kinder on your ears , and you wont have to do a full stage 1 tune to keep the performance .
and as for seats mustangs seam to get good reviews for comfort , you can get a removable sissy bar in black
and duel seat for when the misses is with you ... it will take about 5 minutes to take them off and pop on the solo for when your on your own , that way you don't spoil the looks of the bike for everyday use

Thanks to all! Fair enough, I will do some more research on the hypercharger before investing in one (They do look badass) if they decrease performance there is no need to waste the money... Thanks for the feedback on the pipes; I like the loud baffled sound as well. Still looking for some feedback on a good two-up seat and sissy bar combo. Also any input on some bigger apes.. I'm looking at something around 16" or so (I think….) but have never really ridden with them before.
Will get some pics up when I get some more free time and figure out how to post them!
@Patrick - The sissybar looks really good. My only concern is how low it is.. I feel like it may be too low to add highway riding comfort. What kind of feedback have you gotten from your passenger(s)?
