Might look okay when you have a rider but when you are alone, people will be thinking some one fell off!!! Nice thought though, I would be interested in seeing what you come up with...

what about digging out an old topic, huh?

I just ordered a WL buddy seat, black leather, no skirt, part number # 11240-29N, to put on my XLC, as I did put a police solo seat for now, and the wife is complaining she may not travel around on the Sporty.



Haters gonna hate, I know, but I already know she will like it, as the OEM seat was a real PITA for both of us.

Still have to think how I'll get the buddy seat hung on the bike, though...
