Default Nightser-is two up possible?

I am getting mine tomorrow. Is it possible for two up riding for short distances. My wife knows the deal on the size of the bike, but would still like to cruise along with me when we go to bike weeks and so forth. I'm not talking long rides now, just the typical bar to bar jaunts. Thanks.

With the addition ofpillion or 2-up seat the nightster is no different than the low or custom models just cosmetic.
I've got a 1200C that is lowered and my wife rides with me. The only improvement factor would be changing your shocks to somehing better like progressives but with the preload bumped up on you nighster and a pillion you would be fine.

Your going to need foot pegs for her. Nightster doesn't come with passenger pegs.

Those shocks look a lot like the 883 Low shocks which are for one-up only.Check your manual tomorow.
