Softail slim fender conversion - 2up problem
So I want to convert to this kit:
http://shadetreefabrications.com/store/softail-parts/99-and-up-narrow-tire-fender-conversion-kit-for-softails/
But my gf is upset because it eliminates the passenger seat. Is there a seat similar to the rocker c passenger seat that can fit a slim? Can the rocket c passenger seat setup fit my slim?
I basically need a solution where I can have my rear fender conversion but have a detachable passenger seat. Any help would be apprec. Please provide links where I can buy with your response. Thanks in advance

Totally agree SoCal, that's why I'd want it easily detachable or removable if possible. Don't get me wrong I hate the look it would just be temp while I ride with my girl. Just trying to get the best of both worlds but I can't seem to find a solution. If you convert the rear like that it seems like u just have to give up having a passenger I guess?

I did see a Slim in the "show us your pics" thread, kinda early in the thread, that had mounted a rocker c passenger set up. I believe it was with the stock fender though. Might want to scan that thread.
I do think a Slim looks real cool bobbed out with a fender conversion, not necessarily the huge rear tire thing, more a classic bob like you are going for.

Google: suction cup passenger pillion. Only problem with these is they will f#ck up your paint unless you cover your fender with a clear vinyl.
Edit: Forgot that kit mounts to the swingarm and not the frame, so you might be SOL.
