Default Rocker for 2 up comfort?

Can it be done?.. to set up a rocker for 2up and make it a comfortable ride for the passenger?
I been lookin at one but it really seems like a solo ride to me.
Anybody going this direction, with any success, or should I just stick with my other choices... a road king or deluxe.. or even a wide glide?
Appreciate any input.

I just took my lady friend out for a ride on it just today. She much approves this setup than the stock trick seat.

I just bought a 2008 rocker and I set it up for my wife to ride too. According to her it turned out to be an extremely comfortable ride. It's actually very comfortable for me too, cause the way it's designed it gives me a place to rest my low back. The back seat can be removed in just a couple of seconds and it's a pretty cool look this way too. Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances I have to sell it right now. I just posted it on here yesterday for sale. You can take a look at it if your interested in the looks of it with the seat on it. It's in the Photo Gallery under gts1hd 2008 HDROCKER .

Here is what I went with. It is permanently mounted to the pillion pad though. This way you can at least take it off when your not using it.

I have the Rocker seat with passenger pillion attachment. My wife and I can ride 900 miles in a weekend without any problems.

Greetings,

You're lucky! I can't find a woman that'll stand that seat for any length of time. I'm one of the few that like the look of the back of the Rocker, so I'm leaning toward a second bike for 2-up riding.
