My new GF loves riding on the back of the bike but any significant distance wears her out pretty quick.  Any suggestions for comfort on the back of my bike.  I know it's never gonna be the best 2up bike as it is small and sporty but I was wondering what people's experience was with something like a Sargent seat or any other ideas. 

Here's a pic for clicks.  Not a pick of me or my GF, just a friend of mine with the motorcyclewishlist girls.   I just thought the pic would generate some buzz and maybe get some more responses.

nope. The seat is just too narrow. you can change the angle of it, it would help significantly, but realistically, no. corbin does make a 2 seat option that elimates the rear cowl. But your looking at $800.
ill take the one on the left

The DP gel seat made a big difference.  My wife finds it pretty comfortable.

I have the same problem as you. My solution has been to start looking for a second bike. A guy I have ridden with a few times has the Corbin seat on his S2R and he and his wife do long trips all the time. I think it looks like crap but apparently you can still use your rear seat cover.

Is the Sargent any good for 2up.  I was leaning that way before the new GF because it is taller and a little extra room between me and the pegs would be great.  I understand the corbin is actually shorter.  What a dilemma.
