'06 Night Train Seat For 2UP
I have an '06 Night Train that I bought last October and LOVE riding. I got my wife on the back a couple of weekends ago, and guess what? She's hooked!
My scoot came stock with a Badlander, and for myself, I love it. The pillion for her, not so much. We just tested a Rallyrunner from our local HD dealer. Riding that solo, it seemed flat and my weight shifted too much. It didn't hold me like the Badlander. For her, it was great! With her 110 lbs. on the back, it rode better for me, but still not what I'm looking for. My local HD dealer ordered a Brawler w/ pillion for us to try and we'll have it in a coouple of days. We'll see.
The question is, I want to buy a seat that I will change/put on the bike for 2UP riding, but will also retain the sleek look of the bike, be comforatble for both of us, and will hold me (bucket-like feel) like the Badlander.
Any suggestions?

For up 2 riding with my 06 Night Train I have a sundowner. May not look the best with the bike, but long rides does a fine job. Wife rides with me all the time. 425miles an 13hrs with no complaint from her about the seat.

Looks like what I have been after. I wonder if I can get one without the stiching! That would sell me.

+1 for the HD Sundowner for comfort. My wife loves it. She couldn't ride on the Badlander for a few minutes. She said it felt like a 2"x4" board. The sundowner is VERY comfortable but it's NOT sleek looking at all.

+2 on the Sundowner. My bike originally came with a Corbin Gunslinger, but the seat was very stiff and pushed me up way too close to the controls. The sundowner is great! You could consider getting a custom seat or having a custom seat maker splicing two seats together. Take the best rider side and the best (and sleekest) passenger side and have him mate them together.
