+1 I have the same one and love it, like Ronp said you just lay if forward and the wife dismounts the scooter no issues. If your going to do long trips IMO a must have.

Thanks for the replies. Went with non-adjustable comfort stitch. It was easy to install, took it out and it felt GREAT!

I have the adjustable backrest with the matching back stitch. Beware not many other seats fit with the adjustable type.

I have the non-adjustable type. Pain in the a$$ to get in the right position to where it fit me and the seat. I'm not sure if I really like it though. I may should have gone with the Mustang. Time will tell.

I went with the comfort stitch adjustable. Over the winter, I think I'll send both the seat and the backrest to get re-covered with leather. The vinyl gets hot and doesn't breathe.
