Default lowest profile 2-up?

I've been searching but I seem to find what im looking for, im running a barebones seat, I love how looks and how am seated, I need to ad a 2-up seat and want to keep the same low profile, plus, i have an 09 with the ECM mounted in the rear fender, so I don't have tons of options, anyone have any ideas?
thanks!

If it's not comfortable for a passenger,
you might be better off with a solo.
I like my Leather Rallyrunner from H-D.

Jeff, you will find that when questions like yours come up, which is often, we say much the same thing. You can have as many seats as you need, you don't have to try to get by with only one! You can sit on what floats your boat while riding solo, but if you have a favourite person in your life FFS sake get a comfortable seat for her! Especially if she is new to riding, ask yourself if you want her to ride with you a second time. Buy the biggest most comfy thing you can find and forget looks, then put back your preferred seat when solo. Simples!

You might want to try the Butty Buddy. It is small and easily removable. That way you can keep the seat you have.

If your passenger does not like the BB you can return it, they have a 30 day deal where if you don't like it you can get a full refund.

I have the Biltwell HB on my '09, I stuck the ECM by the battery, didn't take long to move it.
