The present invention is a supplemental motorcycle seat for the rear passenger that provides additional lateral seat support. The supplemental seat includes a pair of side cushions and a pair of support frames. The support frames define a support for the seat cushions and are designed to be mounted to the motorcycle by accessory supports customarily provided with stock motorcycles. The support frames are mounted such that a seat cushion is positioned adjacent to each side of the seat provided with the motorcycle and extend laterally outward from each side of the motorcycle seat. The frames are also mountable to the frame of a touring pack (frame for a rear trunk) that is capable of being mounted to the motorcycle accessory supports, allowing the support seats to be individually mountable or mountable in combination with the tour pack.
