Default Looking for passenger opinion of Corbin pillion

I am looking at buying a corbin classic solo for the SG which i have tried already and i really like the comfort. But, my wife will be riding with me 50% of the time so i was thinking about going with the solo/pillion combo. Does anyone have any input/reviews (positive or negative) about the comfort of the pillion? Is the 11.5" width wide enough? I would hate to make a $700+ mistake on a seat setup and find out that it is not very comfortable for her which in turn would make me very uncomfortable having to listen to the nagging.

I did a search and i really didnt see any reviews on the pillion, just reviews on the driver's seat.

Thanks

My wife loves hers. Although I did have instructions from her that it better not be narrower than the stock seat. I went in and had mine custom made. It took a little bit of doing. Honestly I think Corbin is the best, but they really dont want to do anything but build you a stock one when you go in and have one made.

I just asked my wife how she liked the Corbin pillion seat she was sitting on
Her response was" im sitting on a corbin? IT hurts"
I stopped by corbin 2 saturdays ago and was told nothing they could do for pillion comfort. They said they are not as comfortable as the 1 piece seat

my sig pic has a photo of my solo and pillion on my SG. I would get the seat if you are comfortable in the saddle. Mine is very comfortable until about 100 miles then isnt. I am going to have corbin shave the front a bit where I am getting the butt burn but was told they cant do anything for comfort on the pillion so I will add an air hawk pad for the wife when she rides. when she doesnt I take the seat and stuff off unless I need the storage.
