Nightster 2 up Ready
Ok Gents, when I bought my scoot last November I was looking for a bigger bike to make 2 up riding with Mrs. more pleasurable for the both of us. Believe it or not we did quite a bit of riding on my first motorcycle, a Ninja 250, but it wasn't ideal in anyway shape or form.
Keeping a keen eye on Ebay and the marketplace on this site I was able to procure everything I needed without breaking the bank at the stealer over the winter months. Upgrades included quick detact sissy bar, Docking kit, 13" 1200R Shocks, DK 1" Lowering block, HD Passenger pegs and brackets, Two Crome 3.5" bolts to make quick detach kit work with saddle bag brackets, and a Sundowner Seat. Big savings on the seat and sissy bar and they are both in perfect condition.
I know that these changes aren't to the taste of alot of guys on this forum but for those that may be pondering what a two up setup will look like on their Nightster, here are some pictures.
The look of the seat will take some getting use to but the feel in the saddle is plush. The passenger pillion will ensure that a Happy Wife = a Happly Life! The upgraded shocks should smooth things out quite a bit for both of us as well. The stockers were harsh with just me, no way could they handle both of us.

If the two of you rode together on a Ninja 250R this bike will feel fabulous by comparison. We got a 250 for my son. I really liked riding it and asked my wife to come with. She took one look at the back seat she called a purch, and just walked away shaking her head.
