Default Put passenger pillion on my nightster yesterday.

Got this Pillion from the dealer, easy to install, more comfy than my seat, my girl loves it, what do you think, I prefer the solo seat but I don't think it looks too bad.

Looks like CRAP. [sm=joke.gif]What ever makes you and the O/L happy. I feel the nightster is a more of a solo bike in all,my custom seems to like 2 up. It's yours so do what you want. I'ts not bad looking,as long as it serves the purpose.

I agree, I think it is a solo bike, and I would've gotten a different model if I had found one I liked as much, but I just loved this bike, and I can't afford 2 lol, so I just have to make do with what I have, one day we'll have two and I can go solo again

That sounds like a good plan amigo... Yeah... I just think the big passenger pad looks out of place on the Nightster... But it is an easy off deal, so you can remove it when you want to.... I am planning to add a Springer seat to mine this spring... That way I will never be tempted to go two-up

Yeah, it is pretty east to remove, thats another reason I just bought the pillion, when I want the solo just one screw and it comes off

Looks like it'll work. Maybe it'd look better if you got rid of the grab strap. She won't be holding itanyway.

I agree that a pillion is ugly, but it really is a necessary evil. I am going to get one, easy on/off. Any two up seat that looks halfway costom isn't worth a damn for the passenger, even the stock seat is inadequate without a sissy bar, and I dont like those either. Now, if your style is not solo, Batley's set up is well balanced. It' all about form and function.
