Greetings, Well Sunday my passenger and I did 154 miles round trip - problem was, she complained about a really sore butt at the end of her tailbone. She has recently lost over 60 pounds so no longer has any natural rear-end padding. She did not have any complaint about the size of the stock passenger seat, just sore butt. Any suggestions or recommendations on replacement seats or something to add to the existing passenger seat that might help? She really enjoyed her first long trip - and I'd like to make her next even more enjoyable. HELP!  Thanks!

My passenger loves her Corbin rear seat. It's actually butt shaped instead of just a nondescript bump.

A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

My wife also has no padding down there. We immediately bought the Triumph Passenger Pillon for about $120 when we bought the bike new (2002). She is happy with it, and we typically ride up to 200 miles. However, I have thought about selling it and getting a Corbin for her. People have said a lot of good things about the Corbin, although it runs about $220.

It is shaped like an a$$ for one. It's also wider. And yeah the foam is nice. There may be some cheaper options out there, I dunno.
