Looking for a comfortable seat for 09 883L

Is there a decent solo seat made to fit a 2009 883L. Other than the sundowner seat (not looking to cary a passenger) I can't seem to find a good replacement for the hard pan seat they come with.

My wife has always ridden behind me but last fall she decided that she doesn't want to look at the back side of my helmet any more.
Long story short she bought the low sporty in the middle of the winter and as in many cases now she is a little timid when it comes to riding it. It is a great bike and I hate to see it just set there but with our roads in northern Minnesota, that stock seat just wont do for me it will definatly jar your teeth and backbone!

Lightbulb solo seat

I have the mustang solo seat. Real comfy, way better than the standard HD seat which looks good but isnot comfortable. Decide if you need the regular or the wide.
Good Luck

Thanks Guys I appreciate it. Is the backrest seat model worth it?. It must really take away from the looks of the bike.

I had a Mustang Vintage Wide Solo and passenger pillion on my 07 XL 1200C and never needed a back rest. The passenger pillion really helps to keep the support on your back. If you take it off and go with just the solo, then you'd probably want the back rest version.
