Two up seat?
Would like to get my Duo Glide set up for two up riding. Don't try to convince me the buddy seat is a viable option....it's not big enough for "modern Americans" and the riding position makes me uncomfortable.
I'd love to see some pictures of frame mounted options that would work with the drop seat frame of the Duo Glides. I do have a Mustang seat that fits but I dislike the studs and conchos.
Also looking passenger peg mounting options that let me keep the tool box.

Re: Two up seat?
I have an original Corbin Gentry seat with free standing passenger back rest left over form my 1968 Shovelhead. It is from the 1980s, and not the current crop of CG seats from Tedd's.
If you are interested PM me and I can get you some pics, even on my '68.....

PS Anyone: I also have a similar seat for a rigid, just ask.....

Re: Two up seat?
I would be interested in the rigid. I share the concerns about using a buddy. It's not working for me on 50 pan

RUBONE,
I didn't think those would fit a '58-'64 frame. Besides, did they make any that weren't brown? Hahaha

Re: Two up seat?
Here's one for a rigid. It's a LePera. This one is pretty old, but the still make them. I believe it's also available in a 2-piece configuration which might fit better on a swingarm frame.

Re: Two up seat?
There's room for two on the Pan. Very comfortable for the driver. The shovel in the background has a Mustang seat that's not bad. Never had any wide passengers on the back... Just my 120 lb daughter. The pan has since been de-raked and no pillion.

Re: Two up seat?
NOTHING beats the look of a solo seat....but I'm really happy with this vintage Corbin-Gentry. The style perfectly matches...Thanks Roodog!!!
