Default Disappointed Passenger Pillion

So the wife had expressed interest in riding along on my 2015 Slim. So naturally, I picked out a set of pegs and a passenger pillion from Harley. The pillion was the one that matches the stock solo. I installed the pegs and the seat lastnight. That pillion is harder than a brick! I wasn't expecting the most comfortable of seats from the pillion but dang... Neither I or my wife was impressed. I will note though that the pillion does serve to keep the lines and theme of the stock bike. Guess we'll be looking a full seat replacement in the future!

Go to your dealer and try some of the loaner seats they have. Let her pick out the seat she wants to sit on. It will go a long way for you later getting more nice stuff for your bike. I use the Sundowner and can ride 500+ miles a day without butt pain.

Two words...Butty Buddy. It's not pretty when it's on the bike but it works. And my wife never liked riding on the passenger her 2x4 seat, so we looked around. That's when we saw the Butty Buddy. It was the best $150 we spent for her. Now she can and has ridden 550 miles and 10 hours without a complaint. It has a money back offer too, so you gave nothing to lose and everything to gain. And no...I don't work for them.
