Which is the best seat if riding 2 UP on the Hyper

Im having some small issues with my Hyper regarding the seat. I just read a whole 5 page thread on seat options and there seems to be mixed opinons as far as comfort but no one mentioned which is better when riding 2 up.
My major concern is not so much comfort for myself but rather stop having my girl slide into me while riding and yes of course, having it more comfortable for me isnt a bad idea either as my balls get jammed into the tank and my pants and underwear get wrinkled up into my thigh.

So does anyone one have experience on which of the other seats better suits my needs?

Does the 08-09 1100 fit the 2010?

And finally does anyone have one for sale?

I am very happy with the DP comfort seat for 2up riding. It stops the passanger from always sliding into you. It looks so much better than stock too.

Here we go again...
Well here goes my first mod to the bike, I think im set on the comfort even though I like the looks of the racing one better.

Quick question, does the comfort seat make you feel like ur on a horse saddle, kinda like locked in, you know Harley style?

Take the stock seat, and shave like 2.5" of foam out the cockpit, and about 22mm off the passenger or rear area. The dramatic dip in the seat should change the way she holds on to you, providing more leverage thus keeping from pushing you forward. The small of your back should hold against her instead of your @$$.

...underwear? Compression Shorts is where its at. Like the brazierre to a lady, support decreases the probability of Cancer; Plus You can hide stuff in there. They come in Ducati Red, too. Or just roll commando. This only works for me because the top of my seat is plush. Yeh don't waste your money on the DP seats. The stock foam is perfectly comfortable when the cover is changed. Go Custom!
