Default Seat for The Old Lady

So I've got a 07' Nightster and I bought the Stripper Seat so there was at least a pad on the back for my old lady. She dont like it. Says it beats her up. Can really blame her for hatin' it. Its more for looks than cofort. Anyways, anybody got a suggestion on a seat that will work for her A** but not completely take away from the Nightster look?

I hate saying it but there's not really anything for comfort and style. It's usually one or the other. I'm sure guys will go on about their seats being great but you may have to bite the bullet and get something for the longer runs that just isn't about looks like a mustang touring style. Just swap them out for shorter runs around town and vice versa for day long runs. Other wise you may turn her off being on it all together.

Pretty much what Scooby said, a seat either looks good, or it's comfortable, but not both. But nobody can see it when you're sitting on it.

By the looks of your sig pic and your sig line, she's probably a lot better off staying home.

I have the Mustang vintage touring, which is a 2 up. You could get the solo and a passenger pillion for when she rides with you. Here are some pics of mine before and after. The solo would look like the front half of mine, and when you put on the passenger pillion it would look the same as mine. It is very comfortable both for her and myself. I was worried about the looks too, but once I sat on it, that went away.

The Mustang is very comfortable. When I first got it I took a trip to Kentucky (200 miles). I only stopped twice, once when I got pulled over doin 90, and then for gas and a smoke. I would have had to stop every half hour or 45 min on the old seat.

I use the Harley P-Pad, it is detachable so I can run with the factory seat when nobody is with me and it takes a few seconds to put on. I have ridden several different girls and none have complained. it is large enough and comfortable.
