have you thought about modding the seat if you're looking for something under budget?

http://greatdaytoride.com/Home_Page.php

he's gotten great reviews and can mod the passenger section to your needs.  that being said... i dont know if the pillion section of the oe monster seat can be enlarged all that much or changed that much if you want to fit the cowl back on after.  but if it's just the quality of the foam you want changed, it shouldnt be a prob.

I had this guy do a seat for a different bike and it turned out great.  You really can't beat a custom seat compared to an off the shelf one.  You will have to send in some pictures of you and your passenger on the bike so he can figure out how to shape the foam for your specific application.  Plus, his prices are cheaper than buying a new seat all together.

This guy literally saved my ass  Grin

I emailed the guy that you guys recommended that rebuilds the seats to fit you.....i think that might be the best way to go!  chug

Do any of you know how much the rebuilds usually run for the driver and passenger area?

I know all of you guys love you DP gel seats....but that wont work for me because the passenger seat supposedly inst much better then the stock seat  Cry which sucks pretty bad because its a great price  bang head

from his faq:

 "How much does it cost: For a two section seat the riders section comfort mod is $50, lowering at the same time is an additional
  $10, the passenger section at the same time is an additional $25*.
  For a one piece seat the riders section comfort mod is $50, the passenger area done at the same time is an additional $15*
  "LD" upgrade pricing is based on the amount of Supracor used in your model, usually adds $25 to $35 (e-mail for quote)
  (*passenger section/area pricing is only valid when done together with the riders section/area)"

http://greatdaytoride.com/FAQ.html

so you're looking at $65-100 depending on if you want the gel insert and how much gel he puts in.  though truthfully... if you're doing this mod, then i would def get the gel, esp if you plan on doing any kind of touring.  pretty cheap comfort upgrade.
