What’s up guys! I have a 09 midnight warrior! I bought it without having a rear passenger seat and don’t want to deal with the hassle of getting all the parts I need to find and install one. Has anyone put those suction cup rear seats on? I haven’t heard bad things was just seeing which ones you guys have bought if any? Thanks in advance!

Nice hot rod, welcome aboard!

Would you feel comfortable trusting your spouse or child on one?

In the Documentation forum is a section with pics and parts views for things that differ between model year. One of the attachments is the seats for 2002-2003 and the seats for 2004-2010. There is a bolt-on loop toward the rear of the fender to hold the back of the passenger seat. And there is a bracket to hold the front of the passenger seat. Have a look.

Then, you can go to any Yamaha or dealer website and bring-up oem parts. Browse to your model year. Then find the seats, then view the drawing for the bracket and/or loop you need (get the fasteners too). Then scroll down for the part numbers list.

Its worth it just for peace of mind!

Also, the 2004-2010 passenger seats come up for sale here all the time. Most times the prices are real good.

Welcome to the Forum. Arizona has put you in the right direction with regards to a pillion seat. My quirky mind tells me that a suction pillion seat would be like an ejection seat lol.

There are no problems with suction cup seats as long as you buy the good ones like a phantom pad or a buttybuddy. One member has reported The butty buddy to be very comfortable and much more comfortable than the stock passenger seats. I have run a phantom pad on the back of my chopper with no issue from any of the passengers. The suction cup seat is way safer than some of our members who run a solo seat without a fender and when you try to take one of the suction cup seats off you will see that they stick very well.
