I like the look of a solo seat and a naked rear fender. Depends on whether you have potential passengers or not.

My wife wanted to ride on mine a lot. While I enjoyed her participating, I kept buying the most uncomfortable two-up seats I could find. She now has a Sportster and I now have a solo seat.

Hope this way of thinking doesn't result on my name being on the docket in divorce court (again).

You need two different set-ups and swap between them! Option one is the looks you want when on your own, option two is the most comfortable touring seat in the world, for taking your wife on a long tour. The other option is a second bike in the form of a dresser....
