Hello, I'm new to Harleys and now own a Nightster. It came with passenger pegs, so I might eventually add a passenger seat (or pad) and backrest. Can anyone on this forum recommend a passenger seat? I prefer one that can be added and removed quickly, as I don't want it on the bike all the time. It doesn't have to be big or even very comfortable. I'm not looking at long-distance touring with a back-seater. Are there magnetically-attached seats available?
Can a back seat meant for a "standard" Sportster fit on a Nightster?
I'm also looking at a backrest, since I don't want my passenger falling off (that can get messy). I like the look of the Haulen *** backrests, plus they can be removed pretty easily (I think).
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Check out the Harley Davidson site, they have some decent looking passenger pillions for sportsters.

 

Though I can't give personal experience, I've heard great things about the mustang solo that has a passenger add-on. I think it's called the mustang vintage. Something like that. I plan on that being at least one of my seats, in the coming future. As a much cheaper solution, check jp cycles for their pillon pads that are attached via suction cup. Again, never used one, but I'm told they work great for around town riding. Most guys I know have about 4 or five seats for their sporties so they can mix it up. If you have the money for that, I say do it.

 

I have a Sidekick seat but it didn't fit properly until I modded it. Both my passengers find it comfortable.
I also posted a review of the Haulen *** backrest a few threads down.
