Default Silhouette or stock Fatty?

I'm looking for a cheap 2-up seat for my street bob, rather than messing about with the pillion everytime I want to take a passenger. I have a line on a le Pera Silhouete and a stock Fat Bob seat both for $120... You guys have any light to shine on the decision? I haven't say on either yet, will be checking them both out tomorrow...

The fat bob is going to be more comfortable for sure.

I went with the pillion option cause I like the solo look. My old lady rides once in a while so I didn't want to carry a 2 up all the time. I guess it all depends on how much 2 up riding you do.

I'd say that's a pretty good deal. I have the silhouette seat and love the look for solo riding. I also have the pillion for it and find myself adding it and removing it all the time (just because I like the look). However I also have the stock seat off my Fatbob and just recently started leaving the solo seat alone and using it for short jaunts. I'm in the market for a nice 2-up seat.

I'll be keeping my solo seat on most of the time, just looking for a quick and dirty way to swap to 2-up, the pillion's a pain in the butt to switch, much prefer the idea of two different seats. Guess I'll let my butt and eyes argue it out tomorrow

My eyes won and I bought the le Pera... It's a really great looking seat but my backside complained loudly on the way home - not sure if this is the seat for me :-/
