I read a lot of posts about how cushions help with numb butts but is there a solution to a passenger with a bad back?
My wife’s back has gotten bad and riding has gotten painful to the point she no longer enjoys it.
any suggestions ?

Do you have a backrest for her? You could do a tourpack with a nice backrest, or a sissybar with a big back rest, or a seat with integrated backrest like what I have.

When I ride with my wife, I have a corbin Dual Tour seat with the larger back rests. This seat is firm, so it might not be for everyone. 99% of the time I ride solo, and have a solo setup with a Ultimate big boy and solo rack.

I have the stock seat with sissy bar and back test, but solid like the seat. My bike is the one in the foreground.

I would suggest getting the full Ultimate package (if you have the cash). Drivers seat, drivers backrest, passenger seat and the sissy bar pad. Maybe see if they will make a custom sissy bar pad that is taller, so she has more of a backrest.

I’ll look into it. Thanks.
We had a Valkyrie interstate for 20 years. That rear seat was like a living room easy chair. Lol.

You can also get those rear armrest things that swing away for getting on, off. Might give her more security.
