Hello Everybody, I just upgraded my 08 Softail Deluxe to a 14 CVO Deluxe and have one quick question. I need to upgrade the passenger pillion on the bike but want to keep the brown leather, when i had my 08 I had the touring pillion installed and it worked fine.

The question is do you know if the Fatboy passenger pillion would fit on my 14 CVO? If yes, I would like to just get it re-wrapped in leather to match the rider seat but I'm not sure if it will fit since its 14inches wide and the pillion they sell for the deluxe is 12 inches. Or does anyone know any other pillions that may work with the stock rider seat?

I actually purchased a 2014 deluxe touring pillion and sent it out to the upholstery shop to wrap in brown to match my seat. Hopefully this works out for me.

Looks really good , I hope it does the trick, I have found the seating configuration fairly poor on the deluxe and may try what you have for my pillion,is the back rest high enough?

Thanks, I previously had this same seat on my 08 Deluxe and my wife was fine, for longer trips we put a Air hawk Pillion pad. The trick on the Deluxe I found is to get the shock pre-load, adjusted, the touring pillion and the Airhawk.

My wife actually prefers this lower pillion over the one I had on my 08 which was much higher.

Comfy Wife = happy life

So after i put on the seat i wasn't a 100% happy with how the seat sat on the fender. So i had a bib upholstered the same color, and it looks pretty nice and it's used as a fender protector. Check it out

Where can I get one of the colour matched bibs from please ?

I just purchased the all black one they sell for the regular Deluxe and gave it to the upholstery shop that did my pillion. The guy did say it was a pain in the buns to do though

Just a thought, would anyone be willing to get me a Pillion Touring seat and get it covered in brown and post to me ? I would obviously pay before you purchase ?
