I have that seat, without the rider back rest. I find it great for most of my riding (hour or so), but the rider portion actually tends to get too soft for me on longer rides. I still use it, but it does give a case of monkey butt after a while.. I actually prefer the stock solo seat for longer rides. My wife and daughter prefer the passenger portion over any other seat I have had.
I've had the stock seats with the stock passenger plank. I've tried a Corbin Rumble seat (worst passenger seat ever, even worse than the stock passenger plank!), I've had the Triumph Gel low rider seat and passenger seat (see my profile pic). These weren't too bad, the passenger portion is still too narrow for most any butt. Then I got this R3 Classic seat and it's a good compromise on comfort and appearance. I also swap out with the stock solo seat, on occaision.

I have this seat with the backrest, however, I sent it off for a Rick Mayer mod.
The backrest has 6 settings with 1 farthest back and 6 closest forward. IMHO, it needs a 0 setting as it is a little too close for my size.
btw, welcome aboard from down in Fredericksburg.

That's what I have - also have one without the backrest. Most comfortable bike seat I've ever had on any bike (I know I'm in a minority there). That doesn't mean you can't buy better but as a 'stock' seat I can't fault it and excellent value for money. You should be able to get one pretty cheap these days.

I find the seat great especially with the backrests.. better than the previous Gel and Std seats but then the Touring seat is softer, it depends what you like under ya ass
