Default 2 up on a low rider

Can any low rider owners give me some input on the comfort level for their passengers?&nbsp\\; My wife is fairly small 5'4" 125 pounds.&nbsp\\; Just want to know if the low rider would be sufficiently comfortable for her.
&nbsp\\;
thanks.
&nbsp\\;
Jeff

My wife is about the same size and she's ridden with me. She hasn't ridden a lot or for long distances but she didn' complain about being cramped. Not sure this helps but my 2 cents.

It can be as comfortable as you care to make it, when I had my lowrider&nbsp\\;I rode 2up frequently. Have your wife try different seats until she finds one that feels right for her. That is how I have done each bike I have had.

its all about the seat.

Sundowner deep bucket is the way to go.
&nbsp\\;
Rode 2-up from central CT to Niagara Falls NY last week - around 400+ miles each way.
&nbsp\\;
Went with 2 other couples (1 on Road King Classic, 1&nbsp\\;on&nbsp\\;Ultra)
&nbsp\\;
We generally take breaks when the wives let us know.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;The&nbsp\\;wives on the baggers were ready for breaks at the same time my wife was.
