Default Best Fat Bob Seat for Passenger Comfort

The stock Fat Bob seat works great for me when riding solo,but provides little comfort for a passenger. I am looking for a second seat that I can throw on the bike every now and then when my wife wants to accompany me on a ride, but want to find something that doesn’t change my riding position too dramatically. I have read reviews on the HD Dyna Touring Seat for that say it is great for passenger comfort but the rider is moved forward a couple of inches resulting in a cramped position for tall riders (I am 6-2).

Has anyone found a seat that provides real passenger comfortwithout compromising rider position?

I'm 6' 2" also. Switched out the stock seat for C&C Sport Tour. Very good change for both me and gf.

The Harley Dyna touring seat and a removable back rest. My wife likes this set up. I can change between the two seats in less than five minutes. Because I have the back rest for the passenger I removed the worthless passenger strap a long time ago.

I thnik the seating position for the rider is the same for both seats, but I like the look of the stock seat way better. I like that it's easy to change between the two seats.

Nice set up, and it looks better without the passenger strap.

I just traded my old primary for a 2012 FB seat for the event I have a rider. My C&C solo seat is pretty comfortable as well, but see I could clock more miles in comfort on the FB seat. Check out the C&C Sport Tour seat, that would be a nice improvement for rider and passenger.
