Default Which seat

Lookin to get a passenger seat but don't want to compromise the one seater look. Either a discrete 2 on 1 seat or a readily removable second seat. Any suggestions ?

I've got a Corbin Rumble on my XLC. My signature line is a picture from the side. The rear part of the seat flips up to become a passenger backrest. When it's down, it's a gloss black strip that matches the fender. You could always repaint that part of the seat if your fender's a different color.

I love my Mustang Tripper solo seat. The passenger pillion looks great with the Solo seat. The seat is extremely comfortable. A bit pricey but worth it.

What is your current seat? If you're still with a stock solo seat, HD sells a pillion pad that is easy to put on/take off.

If long ride comfort is not desired...try a suction cup pillion seat pad.
Do a search for pluses and negative.

James Dean Creations (I believe that's the firm) makes a pillion that is half as thick as Phantoms brands.

And here I always thought the "P" Pad stood for something else.
