Default 2up seat options for a nightster

First off im not looking for a touring style seat. my riding is just around town and im more out for a good looking 2up seat for the occasional 2up riding. that in mind i would also like to get a seat that moves me further down in the seat and back a bit.

What are some good options out there?

I put on a badlander, does the trick but not the most comfortable in the world. Short detachable backrest....looks decent. And remember, only one screw to swap it out and put the solo back on, literally takes about a minute!

also, for booting around town, the wife wasn't complaining about it, but it was her first time on a bike ever, so maybe ignorance is bliss! LOL

A little higher, not much. I'm only 5'1" and went from flat foot to my heels just off the ground.

i have to repaint my fender to cover the marks my old seat made and some other issues but it was suggested to me to put some self stick felt pads over the bumpers to keep it from scratching.

Ill have to look into that at the moment im looking into the tripper solo with the removable passenger seat. ive also considered some of that 3m clear rock chip guard stuff for cars.
