Default Suction seat

I was looking into purchasing a suction cup seat for when someone wants to ride along with me, quick and easy.
What are your opinions on them, or if anyone can let me know their review about it that would be great.
Also, is there any type of other 2up seat I can purchase that does not attach to the single solo..?

How do you get the cups to stick to your jeans?

I wouldn't trust anyone I cared about to suction cups. If they gave way, plop.

Try/ search James Dean Creations.
They have a 1" or 2" inch suction pad in either leather or vinyl.

Review - for my Nightster w/ OEM solo seat the 1" looks best.
Used as a emergency seat - very uncomfortable - bar to hotel only
With the great care I have taken it still left a circular imprint on the gloss black paint which may machine polish out.
It can also come unattached so check the "suction" ever so often.

Me and the ex-wife use to use one, not sure the brand since I got it at a local indy shop, but it worked very well till the the cover fell apart. You do need to clean and wax the fender more offten as the cups leave marks on the paint, but a good waxng take them right off.
