Congrats! Great looking bob! Mine looked like that once give it a few days before transformations start. Lol

Thanks everyone. I got the pillion seat today and passenger pegs on today. She loves riding the new bike. Can anyone recommend a good back rest? I can't decide if I want the rigid mount or quick detach. I had a quick detach on my Iron and never took it off. Are the back rests pretty easy to install as well?

I have the Bowman rigid mount, and can recommend it. Easy to install (though it's a lot easier if you have a bike lift or scissor jack - the long bolts for the rear mount point need to clear the rear tire). Takes an hour or so to add/remove if you're careful (read obsessive!) like me.

My pillion is fussy and says it's really comfortable, even without any padding...

It can carry a ton of sh*t but needs a fair bit of planning to make it the load stable (and not rubbing on paint etc). One of those removable sissy bar/rack combos would be easier some days...!
