1+ for the BOB!
I have the stock seat and the Le para 2up Silhouette. I think its clean and low looking. I hate the look of large seats in the rear. I think this one flows into the fender better than any other 2up seat for the Dyna- See my pic

I don't think that you would regret getting a Street Bob based upon what I'm hearing you say. Give one a test ride and you'll find how much fun they are to ride.

Well, you guys have said what I sort of thought I would hear. I am traveling in Hungary right now for work and just called the Harley dealer to arrange for a test ride Saturday. If all goes well, I'll have 2 bikes in the garage. One point to note is that to make it 2 up, I need pegs, peg brackets, turn signal and license plate relo brackets as well as seat and backrest.....about $1500 retail with labor so I would try to accumulate the parts over time as I wouldn't need them immediately.

Thanks again for all of your comments, you guys are really helpful.

Too funny, yes, I do my own work when it comes to that stuff (I have had dealer installed items before where they messed things up, I can do that for free) and would be doing the same here, just surprised you have to move and add so many parts to just get pegs and a backrest on it. I think the parts are in the $700-800 range new, and if I can be patient, I could probably shave it to $500 with some used/sales and do the labor myself. Since she has her own, no hurry on the 2-up add ons.

Thanks again, greatly appreciated.
