Congrats. I couldn't convince my wife to ride with me if I put her in a bear suit, and I ride one of these so called "sofas"

LOL. Keep trying

Definitely higher. Yours is what I've heard referred to as a "low", mine is a "mid". There's about 4-5 more inches than yours.

Anything that will allow the two of you to enjoy the ride is well worth the money.

My 883 will pull me and the wife at 70 plus all day long on the interstate. With that being said if I was going to make that (2up riding) a regular thing i'd buy a touring HD. I don't care what seat you have on a sportster, none will make her smile like a touring seat designed for touring. Thankfully mine doesn't like riding with me much lol ..
