2-up conversion complete
 
Here we go folks, not the weather to do nice shots but you get the idea:

- OEM passenger footpegs
- H-D Detatchable Sissy Bar
- H-D '16 XL Iron Sissy Pad
- Roland Sands Enzo 2-up Seat

Not to everybody's tastes I know but I love the brown-on-black look :)

Nice start, but just ask yourself old chap, would you be happy to be taken for a ride on that seat? Imagine potholes and railway crossings. It will be fine for solo use, but if you have a lady in your life then get yourself a 2-up wide comfy cosy sofa pdq! Think Mustang wide touring or Sundowner, otherwise I foresee you riding off into the sunset all alone......

Of course you can have as many seats as you fancy!

Looks good, but as previous poster said, it doesn't look too comfy for a 2nd rider unless he/she is about 50lbs. Again, it does look good though. :)

Seats are like boots, rarely are they both good looking and comfortable. If you like her, you will have multiple seats hanging on the wall depending on if she is coming with you and how far you are going. Gotta keep her happy.

Unless of course she A- has never been on a bike B- is under 25 and C- under 110 #'s, then tell her that is the biggest seat they make that fits your bike and don't let her see your friends bagger!!!

In my youth I have seen plenty of girls riding on folded up sweat shirts directly on the fender, on long rides. Plus some inflatable lick and stick seats. Oh and for a while passenger pegs were definitely optional!!!

If the shoe fits! Lol most of us are old and have forgotten that we rode like that once opon a time. Nice bike.

That's a good looking seat that doesn't screw up the style of your bike. Very nice. Around town or with a little "spirit" that seat should do pretty well for the right passenger. Easy enough to add something more comfy (and uglier) when the need arrises.

Check out the La Pera Cherokee seat down the road for something that gives more cush and still has looks.

My good lady is quite happy on it for now folks so that's a win for me :) - in fact, first time she got on she gave an approving nod and said it was surprisingly comfy.

Great seat, only complaint is the big-ass gap between the seat and task that you don't get with OEM seats / Mustangs - Really comfy though and loving the tuck and roll look like the factory seat.

You lot take your wives/SOs on your bikes! :icon_really: I get on mine to get away from her! ;) :icon_goofygrin:

My mrs knows that the B-Pad pillion is the best she will get.. She's doesn't do long rides w me anyway so it hasn't been much of a problem for 30-50 mile 2 up jaunts
