Default Nightster pillion options?

i'm looking to do some 2-up riding, and with the extended length of the nightsters seat, I don't want my girl to feel like she's holding on for dear life

any suggestions?

I don't see any reasonable options for 2up with my Nightster. Most of them really take away from the aestheticsof the bike. The ride is pretty rough as is, not sure how comfortable it would be for a passenger. If you find something cool, post some pics so the rest of us can see.

I wanted to get her into it so i could ride more but she didn't like it. I think shes getting the boot soon anyway i can't be with a girl who don't wana ride on the back. Theres only one excuse for not wanting to be on the back and thats "I want my own bike" and in that case I get on one knee and ask her to marry me

I got the XL50 seat for my nightster when I want to ride two-up. I can put it on and take it off faster then putting on the pillion seat.
