once someone is on there...it doesn;t really matter, does it-?

as long as they are comfy ( less whining).

alot of us just remove the T/P when not in use.

that banana pad is clean, but still looking for comfort for the wife...we don't tour, but we do go for long rides.
was hoping for a minor arm rest or at least a little bolster to keep her in.

taking off the trunk isn't really worth it.
I like the look & usability, just not the stock backrest.
