    I have the stock seat for my FLSTC. I am looking to upgrade the back seat and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to brand/model.

    Thanks/

    Depends on what you want and what will match up.

    Mustang makes a good two piece seat, so does corbin

    If you want a touring seat Corbin Dual tour is nice.

    I always felt that Corbins were way too hard for long rides. I bought Harley's Sundowner Touring (one-piece rider and passenger) seat really for my wife and she loves it. Fits me very good also. It was also the least expensive touring seat I found ($350).

    I am looking for a differant pad for her, the one on the bike she says is to narrow and she thinks a wider seat will work better for her. I had a guy tell me that he added floorboards and that improved the ride for his wife. I hadn't thought about that.

    I had a two piece Mustang seat and I could ride with that for 650 miles a day. The back part was pretty comfy for my wife also.

    it's hard to find a good rear seat pad by it's self,
    I agree with the H-D Sundowner, I picked one up for my Fatboy off ebay for $100.00. Takes a little breaking in butt it is comfy for both riders.

    I would go with Mustang if your looking for just a pad, wide and comfortable for the passenger.
