Finally got around to taking some pix of my bike with the Tallboy seat and sissy bar mounted. \\;\\\\\\;Wow, when I look at my pix side by side, I hate the 2-up look even worse. \\;\\\\\\;The wife won't settle for less of a seat though.

It's really not that big a deal - just ranting. \\;\\\\\\; My bike is configured like my sig pic 95 percent \\;\\\\\\;of the time. Usually when she rides with me, it's for a couple of hours at most and that fugly stuff comes right back off. \\;\\\\\\; I did the math though and to think how much \\;\\\\\\;cash I have tied up in a config that I rarely use and hate on top of that...

I couldn't even see the seat with the 8" riser distraction...
 \\; I feel your pain on the 2 up thing, but that's how mine stays 95% of the time. \\; This winter it's all about the quick detach crap so I can feel free again....

RE: Hate my 2-up look - rant
the tallboy could quite possibly be the ugliest seat ever made.
your bike looks great with the solo!
i've had the solo on mine for a month+ now - just put the 2-up back on for my ride to work tomorrow - and it looks like crap (my 2-up is a corbin gambler which is much lower profile than the hideous tallboy.)
sorry for the brutal honesty - just confirming your observations.

RE: Hate my 2-up look - rant
I feel your pain Greg. \\; My wife was complaining about the Sidekick Custom seat and I almost lost my bike to a Street Glide, but instead, I bought a stock Low Rider seat. \\; It still retains the low profile and is actually pretty comfortable. \\; The wife says it's like night and day so, that's how my bike rolls when she's with me. \\; Otherwise, I'm riding with the LePera.
I was able to meet Chrome Lady and her husband CNC Wheel Guy this past week at Laconia. \\; This pic was taken near their bikes.

Seriously your bike looks great either way. \\; I'm thinkin yer just soliciting some praise.....jk man. \\; It does llo good solo, but having the 2 up looks great in a different way. \\; Put yer babe on the back and I'll bet it looks even more better.....
