My wife has been complaining about the passanger pillion on my Harley Davidson Herritage. I obviously need to find her something more comfortable. I've been looking at a p-pad by Corbin that is exactly the same dimensions as the stock standard that came with my Herritage. Corbin makes a much better seat than Harley but I don't know if it will make a big difference. Harely D. makes a wider pillion made for longer trips. The HD pillion is $100.00 cheaper than the Corbin. Any suggestions???

My advice? Spend the money and get the Corbin.
HD may make a wider Pillion seat, but if it is made the same way as the stock one then there won't be much improvement as it will likely still be too stiff to be comfortable.

BUT SERIOUSLY! What's wrong with the standard rear seat? (pardon the Pun) There should be no need to buy another one.
Is your Heritage a classic? If so, there is nothing wrong with that seat at all as it has HEAPS of padding which will cater to Big & Small Bottoms. I had a Heritage Classic for 11 years & sat on the front & back with no worries.

Perhaps your wife is just used to good seats & hasn't experienced really BAD ones....frankly I'm amazed.
Maybe she's ready to ride her OWN bike & this could just be a Big Hint?
