I have a tour pak, hence I have a backrest, hence it would not be illegal!

It's DOT requirement and also passenger foot rest is part of it.

Just a thought. Have any of those that removed the strap ever complained that their seat was stolen easily?

I was told one time what the strap was really for. Back when Harley's vibrated really good the women put that strap there and tied a bandana around it in a knot. Then they would scoot right up against the knot while the bike was running.

What would stop someone from cutting the strap? Nothing I bet.
