2-up Seat
Looking for advice on a good 2-up seat for the 06 Bob. I'm only 5'7" so I don't want anything that will push me back too far.The woman isn't liking the passanger pillion anymore and I'm not liking the look.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: 2-up Seat
Hi, Matt here.
I posted this to another thread, Pretty close to the subject, so I will just repeat myself...
I rode my street bob with the stock seat and pass pillion for 7500 miles, including both ways to Sturgis this summer. I thought it felt pretty good even with needing to stop to stretch at gas stops because my upper legs would get sore.
I didn't like that I HAD to keep both halves mated or go through a whole proceedure to redo the hardware if I wanted to ride solo seat, like HD intended. I finally got to the point where I wanted to do something different.
I checked the Mustang out and decided it would be the best way for me to go. Now, I have the Mustang solo saddle when I want to ride alone, and when I have a passenger, all I have to do is slip the pass. seat onto the docking stud that came with the seat, and bolt the back down using my existing HD quick bolt and the fender nut that came with the Mustang saddle. The pass. seat does have rubber bumpers attached to it, so that may not be to your liking, but you might opt to get the leather fender bib, like I did, to protect the paint.
Oh yeah....the ride is awesome. It is hard to believe that this saddle can be so much better than the stock seat. I give this setup two thumbs up. definately worth the money, I love the look, the quality and the comfort. I just wish I wouldn't have wasted my 130.00 buying the Passenger pillion.
I ordered from J&P Cycles from this page:

I have the Rallyrunner and although pricey(isn't everything from thre MoCo) it is pretty comfortable. For both me and the wife. Have personallyrode 400+ in a day on it.
