Trying to post reply to original post by Zolti, but system wont let me.
Anyhow can someone tell me how high this sits up the pillions back and do they find it comfortable on long mixed speed trips.
Many Thanks

I would like to know this too, it looks like the back pad steels a little from the pillion.

"mee lass" is 5' 10'' so not a shortie.
looking at the seat it was a concern when i fitted but she does not find it steals from or encroaches her space.
she adores the added security and is very happy with it.
one point... she did say was that if it could be 50mm (2") higher that would be a little better, but its not an issue at all.
there was another lad on here with a similar set up ( he used a harley underseat bracket with a similar pad but no rack, tried a search bot couldnt find it, i think it was to fit the fatbob, looked neat but more money)
if you did want to alter it a bit looking at the pad its held on with 3 screws and it would not be difficult to cut a new shape from ply and reupholster. Im considering this because id like to have a logo on the back related to the bike
it came with all the spacers and fittings, it is an excellent fit and very easy to do. if you wanted to take it off for solo trips its 4 bolts. simple and quick, less time than checking and altering tyre pressures lol
