Anybody out there make seats for the Ba? I'm looking to make the wife as comphy as I am. The only ones I've seen are the Triumph seats (I like the K/Q look of the touring seat But the passenger end looks narrow) and the Corbins (which to me look almost stock, & the Rob Halford studs are not for me).I'd really like a K/Q seat that's cozy with out looking like a couch. Any clues?

The pillion pad on the new 2007 America is said to be more accommodating for passengers than even the touring pillion pad that Triumph has sold in the past. Ramsound posted this pic of the 07 pad next to the stock pillion pad from previous years.

there have been quit a few discussions about seats here. Some have done the Corbin and Rick Mayer ones, others have taken them to their local upholster and had better foam put in. I have the Corbin saddle, but not the pillion so I can't speak for it. I do like my Corbin but they are spendy, and Rick Mayer seems to run about the same. Do a search or two on this site and I think you will come up with more than you want for seats 
BA has Freak, 160mains, 44pilots, air mix3 1/2 to 4 turns, BUBS dresser dogs. Never had more fun on any bike - 2nd bike 2008 RIIIT

You may think about a jel pad orange crate design.My brother got one for his wife,I am getting one for my wife also.
The pad has orange crate type cells under the top. At a recent bike show the demonstration was a stool,a pad lock on top of the stool,the pad on the lock.People that sat on the pad could not feel the lock under the pad.

Although I just bought the touring seat last year for the wife I just might have to "upgrade" to this newer version.
