Default Chopped vs King

Well I figure&nbsp\\;I will get positive and negative for all of them but let's have fun voting anyway.

Oh by the way I believe "None of the above" is the best looking option. However I am a fat old man with a bad back and my lady likes her backrest too. So that is really not an option.

since tour-packs dont really add to the asthetics of a bike, i dont understand why someone would want a chopped pack. i mean, if youre putting a 'trunk' on your bike, you might as well install the largest one thatll fit properly.

the ONLY time my passenger backrest/sissy bar is on is when my wife rides with me (which isnt very often anymore)
&nbsp\\;
other than that, its a sundowner seat.
