Default Love Handles, anyone?

Anyone tried these?
http://www.motorcyclearmrest.com/

How where they for your passenger?
Do they stay closed tight enough for a 6y/o kid not to open them?
How do the look on and off the bike?

At some point I want a tour pack for my '10 Street Glide, but can't shell out the $$$ now.

While not the most beautiful thing I've ever seen bolted to a bike, there is a quite practical side to this and this could make a difference between your favorite lady friend enjoy a ride or complain about being uncomfortable at the first stop for fuel.

I'd use it to make that difference, but certainly remove it after the two up ride...

Also good to see people with an idea make it happen. I hope they get rich quickly!

Its a neat idea, and I would buy them, but way too expensive. I priced mine out as basic with no upgrades and they cam out to $329!

Geez I didn't even think to price them when I commented about getting rich quickly! At that price I think they will! But not from me

Too much $$$$

I bought my tourpak secondhand and painted it the colour I wanted a couple of years later when I could afford to (paint cost more than the tourpak!). The cost of love handles is a lot to spend when it is not what you want! A cheap backrest would be a better compromise, or look out for a secondhand tourpak.
