I don't think it looks that bad...but I know what you mean. I prefer my RK with the solo seat and only put the couch seat on when my wife wants to ride with me. That doesnt' happen that often though, and the truth is, if she isn't happy, no ones gonna' have a good day.
That's ugly as hell.
Want to see what I just bought?
Look at this Danny Gray innaliation..
It makes yours look sweet.
Big, as expensive as a living room sofa, but it makes my wife feel secure if she wants to ride.
It goes right back in the shed as soon as she's off the bike, and the LePera solo returns..
