A guy I work with had to put on a two up seat on his Nightster so his wife would let him buy it. She rode on the back ONCE and hated it. Granted I don't know these people very well, so Idon't know how "picky" they are on the comfort level. Buthedid sayit was not a two up bike, just wasn’t comfortable.

Plus the seat KILLED the look. I actually feel bad for the bike every time I see it.

The 2-up thing/ seat thing is the main reason I didn't geta Nightster. IfI had the spare change, I would buy onejust as an extra bike.

I would, but, I don’t want the guys on the forum to rush away in horror, blinding themselves with blunt, rusty instruments. These guys have families to support!

Now focus!! And convince lamp24 that two up on a Nightster is just not right!

Well it seems that everything is status quo. There would be no benefit for Michelle to post her *** other than get a rise or another useless thread started about nothing to do with Sportsters.

I'll post mine if that will enhance this topic.lol!!!

The coffee is on!

Your Nightster is a single purpose bike and two up is not that purpose.

You can ride two up on a nightster, but it is not that comfy! I definatly perfer riding it solo. I'm working buying our second ,A street glide for our two up travel.

I don't know about that Michelle, this one from your gallery looks pretty good from my perspective....



As for 2-up on a 1200N, I would have to say a change in shocks (taller) and a touring seat that youcan swap back and forth with the solo will make it tolerable.
