| Ditto to other rider comments. I find this backrest very satisfying ONE UP ONLY! As I am one of those fortunate riders who often has the benefit of a co-rider I have to cater to her every whim... Here's the problem - The side rails that insert into the struts permanently fastened to the seat will get into your co-rider's space and chafe the inside of her legs. Even at the most forward position it will be bothersome to her. So I'm stuck with removing it every time she rides with me and removing it is not fun either. The unit is "springy" and you must turn a dial, pull one side out, go to the other side and turn a dial, then pull it out, (while worrying that the other side may be pulled into your seat or plastic parts). Sometimes you really have to torque on it to get it to come loose. It will irritate you putting it on or taking it off, (usually easier to put on). Again, very nice and probably superior in comfort and support for one up. But your passenger will hate it. |

| We are not very happy with these armrests. Two problems - one may not be solvable but the other is... It's just a pain in the you-know-where to have to remember to rotate these rests out of the way every time you want to raise the trunk lid. I knew this going in and thought I could deal with it but it's still an irritation every time. My wife complains about the padding on the rests - she has seen other co-riders rests that are quite plush, as in thick and soft padding. These pads are thin and hard. I asked Kury if there was an alternative upholstery that could be retrofitted - they looked at me like I had two heads, (I spoke to them directly at Daytona Bikeweek. |
