Is 2 up on a Sportster S possible?
It doesn't seem like it unless HD plans on selling a whole different rear fender and seat combo. Granted Sportys aren't the best option for 2 up but plenty of couples ride together and it seems like HD is limiting themselves to fewer accessories.

This cracks me up.
2 up riding is easy an a sporty.
Yes the sundowner seat helps but remember the sporster 1200 was hd answer to the yamaha virgo 1100 back in 1986 (if i remember the year right) and it was the largest factory motor at the time in the 70's lot were riding 2 up on less powerful choppers in the 80's on smaller jap bikes and in the 90's alot were doing 2 up on sport bikes.
hell try ca too ny on a 1997 zx7r with a passenger.
not every wants a bagger thats what a car is for, some of us like the wind.
It is much like when i see bikes from 2000 and mileage is 10k or less why buy a bike if your not going to ride it.

The XL1200 models were introduced in 1988, from 1986 to 1987 the XLH1100 was the largest capacity Sportster model.

Did you even read which bike is being discussed? I doubt the Sundowner will even fit.

@FL23833 Your question has been taken as just another Sportster topic, there is sub-forum in place.

Only problem is that the average weight of a Harley owner and passenger has gone up about 100 lbs each since the 1970's
