Default Passenger Pillion Help

Hello all, Looking for a little guidance. I have a 2012 Street glide with the factory solo brawler style seat. I am looking for my options for a passenger pillion to go with this seat. I have been researching this for quite some time and just can't seem to find anything that says it will work other than the suction cup P-Pads which I'm really not wanting. The solo I have is the HD solo that came with the bracket to make it a single point attachment at the rear of the seat. Any help would be great. I'm also not afraid to modify something to make it work. Thanks

You may find it easier to buy a complete second seat and simply swap them over from solo to duo, as required. You're allowed as many seats as it takes! A pillion, especially your favourite person, deserves a high degree of comfort and security while riding along and that is very easy with a dual seat.

I actually use the Butt Buddy portable seat when my passenger needs a little more "real estate"

thanks for the suggestions. Don't need more room, my wife is small at 125lbs. Just wasn't really wanting to do the whole swapping seat deal. I did that on my last bike and the solo I have now has a nice embroidered design that goes with the theme of my bike. So, I was hoping to just find a decent Pillion pad that is better than those suction cup pads.

Check out Phantom Pads. I run an old school solo on my King, I hate the full 2-up seat. Unless I know we are going to be on the bike a while, she rides on the biggest pad Phantom sells. Must be comfy enough, she keeps getting on lol
