"Converting" back to two up capability?
Got my 94 softail:
I'm totally into the solo seat. I ride solo.
Until now
girl I'm dating LOVES being on the back and I don't want to deny her
right now we roll with a stick-on p-pad. Damn thing scratched my paint! They're not sposed ta!
Anyway...she wants a seat AND a backrest/sissy bar
Wanna throw out suggestions as to how I can still keep the low, lean look while making her a little more comfy?
I told her to win the lotto and get "us" an FLHX but that aint hapnin.

Looks to me like you are rocking the Lepera Bare Bones.
Why not just get the pillion that goes with that seat and a quick detach mini sissy bar.
My wife wanted a sissy bar and then after I got it she never leans back she is seat forward and rarely leans back on the thing.
Mine is coming off when I start my winter mods in a month.

2 Up
First date the girl for 5-6 years and see if you still want her to ride with you and lay out money for extra gear. During these first few years tell her there is an initiation or "hazing" she must go through. She must change your oil at her expense and wash and wax your bike whenever she is directed day or night without being able to ride at any time. Also tell her there are plenty of other women out there that own their own Harleys that want to ride along side of you and she just needs to be patient and stop being so demanding.
If she does all this ask her if she has a sister for me.
But really here is what I do when my wife want to ride 2 up with me. Harley backrest/ luggage rack and stock seat, OR put on your cool seat. Going either way only takes a few minutes.

How does a quick detach sissy bar work?
The girl definitely wanted a backrest. She wants to lean back
