Default Best 2 up passenger seat for Nightster

I have a Nightster and my GF wants to go for rides on the back. Which seats are good? Most comfortable and well made? Without looking like a loser. lol Also which backrest? I'm 33 years old. Not looking for some old man seat that is going to kill the look of the bike. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I ran into the same problem with my iron. Researched forever trying to avoid the couch look but getting something reasonably comfortable. Hate to say it, but I settled with the HD Rallyrunner. Good looks, and comfortable enough. Def an upgrade from my HD spring seat and pass pillion!

A fairly new La Pera solo seat is usually installed but when two-up riding, this Mustang has worked well for the wife and me. It's the same vintage as the '93 Sporty -

I have a used Sundowner for sale if you're interested. Bought it because the girlfriend wanted to ride and she loved it. Wasn't the best looking thing around but it was super comfy and I could go from solo to 2 up in 2 minutes.

+1 Sundowner, not the look you want I'm sure, but my wife would kill me if I got something more 'stylish'. She loves it.
