From HD catalog looks like Brawler has advantage of easy on-off passenger pillion to match. Anyone tried (and most important, what passenger says)?

I'm on an '07 Train, and just put a LePera Silhouette gel solo on the bike couple of months ago...rackin' the miles on it, and like it more and more...little more narrow than my stock Badlander, sits low and back...btw, picked it up from a sponsor here, Eastern Performance...$144.95 shipped to my door, got it in 2 days...good people there...

Too early to say. I'm looking for a solo because the little woman announced that she doesn't want to ride double anymore - thinks it's too dangerous here in SoCal. The funny thing is, we rode together all the time when we lived back east... and I thought it was actually more dangerous there (because the riding season was so short, the cagers never really got used to looking out for bikes). We can ride year round here.

Anyway... I'm trying to push the issue. I haven't told her what I'm doing. She's just suddenly gonna see the bike with a solo seat and no rear pegs. Ifshe hangs tough (been known to change her mind in the past), then I'll know she was serious. If she does relent, I'll gladly put the Badlander (or some other 2-up) seat back on, because she's a good woman. She is actually the one who convinced me to get this new Night Train!

Stay tuned. BTW, your seat work looks great!
