If you remove the whole backrest setup from the tour pak lid (just a couple of screws - 5 min) then you can pull the staples that hold the lower "flap". It is not sewn shut at the top. The Moco has stuffed, or not, this flap with some lame fluffy pillow stuffing. I took my flap to my leather guy who lengthened it 2 inces so it now goes down behind the seat almost to the rear fender. Before I stapled it back to the top rest, I filled it with 2 pieces of dense foam designed for seats, not pillows. The "flap" is long and full and feels like lombar support now and I have almost $20 tied up in it.

grasman - You mention "She really likes the new pad with the foam that forms to your body." but I didn't see a description of the pad.

Is this the extension of the stock pad filled with foam?

Thanks
