Default Need seat help/advice!

I have a 2007 Nightster. I was planning on either chopping or removing the rear fender completely. I had no use for a passenger seat because my EX never wanted to go on rides. now that she is my EX, i have rethought my passenger seat problem. I now need to accomodate passengers. so i dont think i will be removing rear fender. can i still chop it and have a passenger seat????

i hate the look of the stock pad. too bulky.

any ideas for a slim/small/sleek seat that can accomodate a girl? passenger pad maybe? lapera? mustang?

ANY help/pictures/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Rich Phillips makes a p-pad that looks slick. I ordered one last week and haven't gotten it yet. It doesn't look too comfortable, but it's not like I'm gonna be parking my can on it.

My wife calls those pillion pads wooden thongs. Super uncomfortable but if you move the passenger pegs up like old school chops, it's better. Still not good, but better.

Another thing I've seen on here a couple times is guys taking quick detach rear racks & turning them in to pretty cool seats that come right off.
