82 seat trade anyone?

I think I need a different one. Mine came with a perfectly good Corbin dual touring seat with removable passenger backrest and as nice as it is, I don't need it. I do need a comfortable seat (are the stock seats very comfy?) but I seldom ride with anyone behind me so when I tour I have a tailbag behind me on the seat. I've also learned that the deep scoop in the seat makes the riding position a bit lower than say, my 79's seat, which causes my legs to bend more at the knee than I prefer, especially on long rides. On a different bike, I crashed onto my right knee a few years back anyway so I don't enjoy bending the knee anymore than I have to. The seat height is fine on the 79 but after a long ride on the 82 my knees and thighs stiffen up more than they should.
Now, if anyone would want to trade, someone with a significant other who would benefit from the backrest for example, how would we do it? Trade the entire seat and tail section? Aren't they kind of (attached) to eachother?

:) Can anyone tell me how comfy a stock 82's seat is? Good enough or would you swap it out for an aftermarket seat ASAP?
