Anyone out there have thier Bob set up for 2-up riding? What's the feedback from your passengers? Any recomendations on Seats? Thanks!

 

We just put the sundowner seat on the wife's bob..........I had promised her when we did I would ride bitch for her the 1st time til she got comfortable with riding 2 up (I haven't ridden bitch on over 40 yrs!). She's only riding 1 1/2 yrs, (never rode 2 up b4). Anyway, we both like the sundowner a lot, although we haven't ridden any great distances so far. We put a fixed mount sissy bar on, and the pegs of course. The seat/bar combo gives her a lot more capabilities for storage/carrying things. However, my opinion is all this ruins the original look of the bob! I wish we could just go stock with it, but we really do need the 2 up/carrying stuff capabilities. my .02 worth. Oh yeah, she does great with 2 up!

 

Got the H.D. pillion that goes with the Bob's stock solo seat and passenger pegs for my wife....it works ok although she's not comfortable without some sort of sissy bar...always feels like she is sliding off. Will probably get some sort of short bar eventually. Doesn't look bad, but i have to agree, it totally changes the looks of the Bob...maybe a detachable, short bar......it would be nice to have somewhere to strap stuff to.

 

i threw the pegs on there and got a phantom seat. it has six suction cups that stick to the rear fender and hold well but will only stick to the black denim finish when not being sat on. i like it because it looks nice when on the bike and i can take it off and have the better look of the solo seat when theres no *** on it. matches the stock leather too. $120

 

I agree that the HD pillion is comfortable, or at least my girl says so. I've been waiting for 1 1/2 months for the docking hardware for the sissy bar but she hasn't complained about it yet. The passenger saddle is maybe 12" wide and very thick. It sort of creates a backrest for the driver when installed. It only takes about 5 minutes to get that sucker off of there when she ain't around...

 

sundowner seat, one word : fantastic,and i mean i am picky about seats !!!

 

i got a custom sidekick and the passenger pillion. the g-friend didin't like her portion of the side so i got the pillion. she likes it, i also have a detach sissybar, and detatch windshield. they come off when shes not w/me.

I got a badlander, mini sissy and my girlfriend loves it. Only thing she wants is floor boards instead. Her feet start to cramp but *** is fine

 

I got a pillion for my stock solo and it seems to be fine...I haven't taken a passenger longer than 30 minutes though....My son, he says it's comfortable.....girlfriend won't ride it yet....I just leave it on cause it's a nice back rest.... Some people on here were complaining about the stock so I'm sure there's more opiniions out ther.e.....

 

Oh yeah,
the pillion fits really loose on the bike and you kinda feel like its going to break and everyone falls off but you get used to it and trust it and it's fine...
