Same (mostly). My wife couldn't sit on the stock pillion seat for more than a few minutes. The Corbin setup allows her to ride for a couple hours. The stock pillion pegs are now the limiting factor - which unfortunately isn't as easily solved.
Yeah I just don't understand why they're so unkind to passengers. I shouldn't have to buy a fifteen hundred dollar custom seat just to get my wife on it
I'm sure it has been suggested more than once that Triumph should market a Goldwing killer, with all the comforts of the wing (or better yet BMW K touring bike) but with the brute power of the Rocket.

Honestly I love my rocket and I wouldn't change a thing other than I need my wife to be comfortable so she'll come with me once in a while The corbin seat fixed the problem, I'm just fifteen hundred poorer

I have to agree - although my wife is a 6 footer and finds the backrest and footpeg positioning very uncomfortable. Rocketeers with more petite wives (only one at a time, obviously) will probably find things much easier.
The only bike that my wife really misses for comfort is my old Aspencade - she used to regularly fall asleep on longer runs (I could feel her helmet peak nudging my back and hear her snoring over the intercom )
I had a 2013 R3T and recall putting on aftermarket foot boards for the wife. Amazon stuff, easy to find. On several machines, I've also learned to put automotive gel seats under sheepskin covers for ultimate comfort. As the get seat drapes over the sides of the passenger knob, it effectively widens it as well. In this GT picture, the passenger is a luggage system but you can see the driver gel seat extended out from under the sheepskin. Add the mid controls and rox risers, it's like riding a cloud.
