Nice bike! But they forgot to put the backrest pad on the backrest. Wife isn't gonna be happy with that at all!!!

EDIT: just saw the other post. Be careful putting it on and taking it off. They strip out very easily. No need to ask me how I know. And mine did it just checking it and tightening it every so often because it always seemed loose. Replaced under warranty, but the new one I've just left alone.

Congrats.

According to my dealer, yes. I sat on one and it did feel more cushy, but also allowed me to flat foot it and have both knees bent. Something I couldn't do on my 2011 until the seat was smashed down a lot. Dealer said they used new material in the seat that made it more comfortable, while lowering it an inch.
