I am stuck between getting the Sport Touring
Sport Touring One-Piece Vintage Seat - Honda VT750/VT750DC 75029 | Mustang Motorcycle Seats
Or Wide Touring Wide Touring One-Piece Vintage Seat - Honda VT750/VT750DC 75105 | Mustang Motorcycle Seats model to keep the Ole lady Happy as she cant stand the stock one as it hits her in the wrong spots.What do you run on your Shadow Spirit.

I got the stock one and so far its ok but if i was shopping for a new one I'd go with the Wide Touring One-Piece .

The big difference I see would be that the driver with the sport would have a fairly decent back rest?

Momma has to be happy. The Wide Tour one piece is a good choice if you weigh more than ole lets say 170 lbs. I was 180 when I got mine and it was great for both of us. Now for me at 160, it's a little hard but still better than stock. It will change your seat height about 1" higher also. Also the Wide backrest pad makes momma real happy!

I am 6'1 210 so a extra 1 in higher will actually help out with the leg position even though I already have the 6 in Forward Extensions.I have a Back rest/sissy bar on there already so she dont fall off.

Don't have a Spirit but I love the Wide touring on my ACE. Really like the looks set up solo but the passenger pillion makes a fantastic backrest.

Got the Phantom... Stock seat is better than most, but would rather have a solo, stinger or stiletto seat that is pretty low profile. The Stiletto, or Stinger has a nice look, that sweetly curves to follow the line of the rear fender. But with a solo seat, have the option of a small backrest, which would be sweet, as well. Want a low sitting seat, as am vertically challenged more than most. Ideas?
