But which one is more narrow he is looking for that over anything. Most people could reach ifthe factory seat wasn't so wide.

I tried several seats, roadglide, streetglide. I could get my feet flat but couldn't bend my knees. With the DG Speed Cradle Solo, it is very narrow and my feet are solidly on the ground and my knees comfortably bent. There was just no comparison for me.

Speed Cradle Pillion on the bike

Shot some quick pics tonight in the garage, sorry they're kinda dark.

Note that the back of the pillion uses the rear seat mounting screw and there are two low profile suction cups under the seat, nothing really secures the front part that overlaps the Speed Cradle.

If anyone needs the pillion seat PM me. I'll use my stock SG seat when the wife wants to ride along.

Aloha,
Huladog

I'm going to try - and ask you guys here...

I bought new speedcradle solo seat, which I really like.... but seeing the pillion makes me wanna cry.... I mean - how safe is the combination of suction cups and one thumb screw??? ...and there seem to be no alternatives for speedcradle pillion...
