I am looking to get a new seat for my 05' VRSCB. I find stock seat uncomfy for more than an hour on a ride. I am 6'3'' and 200 lbs. I would like to keep the same seat profile or atleast similar because I really like the stock seat looks and its profile. I have been reluctant to buy a new seat because I didn't really want to change the looks. Haven't had much luck in finding a seat I like.

Also is they're a passenger seat with a back rest or atleast more comforatable that I do not have to bolt supports in the fender or do any drilling? Would be nice so I could just quick install a new seat for when the g/f wants to ride with me. She complains about the stock passenger seat.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Look at the Corbin Hollywood Solo. It has a similar look to stock and adds a comfortable low profile passenger seat.

To get a backrest, the best option may be to add the Harley baseplate and one of their backrests, but if your going to do that than you will have to order a seat that is compatible with the baseplate. Corbin offers two choices on the rear pillion and you want the one that works with the rack/baseplate. :2cents:

Sundowner from HD with passenger pillon and backrest. There is a baseplate that mounts without putting holes into the rear render. The backrest bracket is mounted to the baseplate.
