thats what my HD dealer wants to inprove my girlfriends perch. It is a common complaint that the passenger feels like they are leaning back to much. I have a buddy going to bring me a taller sissy off a 2001 that i hope to transfer my existing pad to. I was told by my tech. that the 12 inch wide seat off the heritage will work combined hooking my girl up. The HD pad was priced at $90.00 the sissy bar will cost me about $50.00 in Irish car bombs.
