I am looking for an easily removable seat so the wife can ride with me for short trips, but also I like the look and comfort of a solo seat and don't want to give it up. Is there anything someone's tried that is simple, cheap, and does the trick?

 

My C&C solo has a matching pillion that uses the mounting bolt for the rear and suction cups to hold it in place. They also make universal ones too http://www.ccseats.com/Pads.htm

 

Dude if you are riding with your wife then looks of a solo seat shouldnt matter. Just saying.

 

I have the Mustang wide solo along with thier wide passenger seat. Old lady loves the pass seat and it comes off in seconds ( 1 phillips head screw or you can use a thumb screw) the front of the pass seat slides and locks into the rear of the solo seat.

 

Any passenger pillion seat or even just a stick on suction cup seat. I've got the HD passenger pillion, its alright for short rides.

 

Here you go, works great:

short trips, simple, cheap? whats wrong with sitting on the fender? just kidding, suction cup pillion is going to be the way to go. if you want cheap, check craigslist or ebay for used, or for a little more for a new one check amazon. iv bought two seats off amazon and it was the best price i could find, free shipping and recieved in 3 days from all the way across the country.
