Looking for 2 up options for rocker

So, back story. When I went looking for my bike the wife said (in many different ways and colorful language) that she would never ride on it. So I did the logical thing and got a rocker, that has zero great options for 2 up. 3 months later, she wants to ride.

I've been looking for options and need some help. I can't find anyone who does a 2up seat for the rocker. Older posts on here show a lot of options, but they seem to all be discounted and unavailable.
Since the fender is unsupported, it can't bear any weight, so stick ons are not an option.

Option 1: lepera 2 up seat for chopper/rigid.

It comes up on J&p when I search, but nothing explicitly stated it. Also the lepera website does not list anything for the rocker. Anyone know if this will work?

Option 2: rocker touring system.

Discontinued years ago and can't find it anywhere, expect one outrageous eBay listing. Anyone have one laying around that they want to sell?

Any other options , suggestions, or help would be greatly appreciated. I've already heard that I should just get a new bike but I love my rocker and can't responsibility buy another one so soon.

Thanks guys.

What about trying to find a Rocker-C foldaway seat?

Look at the Heartlander conversion, that allows a removable second seat, which is much bigger.

This is also still availble!!

Thanks. Yes I have considered the trick seat, but I am hesitant to go that route. I've read a lot of complaints about the comfort for the passenger. I wanted to explore other options first.

I did get an email response from Le Pera today. They make nothing for the Rocker.
The heartland conversion is a bit out of my price range. I don't want to dump that much for one ride and the wife doesn't like it. Also, I don't have a problem with the 'gap' that alot of people don't like. I tend to like gaps.

If anyone has a FXCWC trick seat set up and wants to sell it, please let me know.

I pulled the trigger cause I have zero impulse control. Got a fxcwc trick seat off eBay. $500 shipped which was the best deal I've seen yet. Comes with a fabbed back rest for the passenger.
i figure if the wife doesn't like it I have a luggage rack.

Thanks for the help guys!
