Take a look at Mustang. I have an Extra Wide Regal Duke as my main seat, which is very comfy for both rider and passenger. I also have a Wide Touring seat, which is even MORE comfortable for the passenger, but I find not as comfy for the driver.
Mustang prices are reasonable, and the seats are great!

Love my Mustang seats!!!!!! Purchased them the first week I bought my new 2015 Heritage! The back rest is a game changer for me! It provides support and comfort and I can ride all day with no issues! BTW at 67, I have three herniated disc in my lower back. So believe me these seats are worth their weight in gold
Normally I would I highly recommend C&C Seats, great place to deal with. Quality and workmanship is second to non. But my last seat, not so much, a lot firmer then I remember. So if you'd like to keep the factory look, check out Mean City Cycles. Their Memory Foam upgrade is what you want. I did it my factory 2UP and also a solo.
I had them shave the sides so my legs are closer and along with lowering me 1" it was a perfect fit. As far as my passenger pillion, they dropped it 1" and also did the memory foam upgrade, I'm talking all day comfort, not a 2 or 3 hour ride, but 7/8/9 hours in the saddle. The GF and I tour a lot, she never complains about a sore *** or being uncomfortable, another option I highly recommend for passenger comfort is a set of floorboards, they're night and day then the standard pegs.
Seat comfort is very subjective... One man's heaven is another man's hell... With the price of seats, it can get expensive finding the "perfect" seat... for you...
It's not always possible, but if you can ever try out a seat prior to putting down a good amount of money, you should do it..
Harley has a seat demo program that is available at most dealers. Some manufacturers, I believe Saddleman is one of them, has "super centers" that are supposed to allow you to take one of their seats for ride before purchase.
In many cases, sooner or later, you'll just look at all the recommendations and decide to buy a seat... I'm on seat #4 for my baggers... All the seats were better than OEM, but I've yet to find that perfect seat, for me, to ride all day in comfort..
I agree whole heartedly with this statement. I use to be an avid cyclist, road racing and touring, so I guess anything to me is comfortable, especially when coming off a tiny thin strip of carbon fiber. lol
I will say I've tried several different seats starting back when I had my Dyna. Saddleman, Mustang, LePera, C&C Seats, a couple different HD OEM seats, and I still find my Mean City Cycles to be the best out of all them, for me. The GF and I take off for weekenders all the time, and with 1 or 2 good week long or better trips a year. I have no complaints.
