900 custom seat

[Clarxhouse]

I just bought a 08 900 custom and my wife is making me get a after market seat because the stock one hurts her booty after being on it for more than 30 minutes. I was wondering which seat looks best and is the most comfortable for two up riding on this bike. I really like the looks of the stock seat and I don't want to put something on it that takes away from the looks. I am looking at a kawasaki gel seat but it is only 8 1/2 inches wide for the passenger and I am afraid that that wont be wide enough for her. I am also looking at a corbin dual touring seat but it is EXPENSIVE and I can't find a picture of it on this bike. Does anyone have any recommendations and pictures with seats on the 900 custom that are geared towards two up riding. Thanks.

My wife had the same problem. So I put a Mustang vintage on. She loves it, we can ride all day and her tushy fills as good as when we left. I like it alot too, the back support is much better than the stocker and I don't tire on it a bit.

I put a Mustang on my C50, so much better day and night. Wife will ride with me now and it is much better for me. At the end of the ride i can move like when i got on. That is better then looks

My wife has a bad back, disabled from a line of duty injury, we have the Kawi Gel Seat on our 900 LT. She loves it. After the break in, the difference is really amazing. Only downside I have found is that if you park in the sun, the seat gets very warm, wich can make it a bit uncomfortable. To eliminate this, I carry a bath towel that matches the bike, to cover the seat if we have to park in the sun. I may look into having some type of cover specially made at some point.

I put a Kawasaki gel seat for a Classic on mine. I love it! It is very comfortable for both me and a passanger, and it is inexpensive to boot. They are made for Kawasaki by Saddlemen. Best mod I have done so far. Here are a couple of pics of my bike.

I went with the classic gel seat on my custom as well, great so far, the passenger seat is a lot bigger than the stock Custom seat....

What kind of saddlebags and windscreen is that you put on.

Mustang Daytripper is supposed to be perfect for rider and passenger and it looks alot like the stock Custom seat.

I have the Saddlemen Profiler and as super comfy as it is for me and as beautiful as it looks, the passenger seat feels very firm. (but i rarely take a passenger so have gone for my comfort and looks)
