Seat ideas???

I just bought my 2015 Harley Soft tail slim. I really liked the radioactive green. I am wanting to buy a seat for when I ride a passenger but I can't seem to pick one out that I think would look good with my bike. Any input of styles of seats would be awesome! I don't know if I want to add a top seat to my existing one and have it match, or get a one piece 2 seat for it.

I would just get one of those suction cup deals and maybe a quick release sissy bar to go with it then just pull both off when you have no passenger. Your bike is a solo ride as it sits. A passenger seat would only take away from the aesthetic simplicity.

I have two fenders rigged for my bike so that I can change to one or the other (one custom solo, the other stock w/passenger pillion) in a matter of minutes.

As a suggestion, I would consider lowering it an inch or two to bring the fender closer to the tire (the closer, the better imo).

been looking at seats for three days, not many passenger seat out there that looks like you could ride more the ten miles on without hurting. I had trouble finding something with a back rest with no passenger seat.
I'm lucky the wife dosn't ride

What he said.

Although be warned. If you do any long riding it's hard to go back to the stock seat after riding on a Mustang seat.

Unfortunately there's not much for a pillion that will go with your solo seat and give much comfort for your passenger.
A little pillion is about all that will look right with your seat but any time on one of those and your passenger will feel like they're riding on the edge of a leather covered 2 x 4.
