Although that may be true, lol... I just might open up other issues,

When I was talking to the extension cord place,,,, I ask the wife if 12" would work for her... As the words were leaving my mouth - my brain could not catch and stop them... Wife yelled back - Oh, Hell Ya...

LOL

Part of her issue both getting on and off... I use a Corbin Back rest - it does not fold as easy as a HD - the way I like it - she has to work right leg between tourpac arm rest and my back rest... with NO back rest - it would be easier... forgot to add that to this mix - Plus at 67 - I applaud her for getting on and off and wanting to ride... I have always done what ever makes her smile - I still enjoy having her ride with me and we ride as much as we can...
