Looks nice, but seems to be a little short for long hauls. Thinking of passenger comfort.

Especially if you want to get some at night. If my wife is going to complain about a sore butt it better be because of me.

My point exactly ...

Is it just me, or is the bracket pressing into the seat? It looks like the bracket needs to move back about a 1/2 inch.

Yeah, it also looks that way to me, as if both the length and width of the longhaul doesn't quite fit it properly.* I wonder if the standard pillion would work better with with it (though the pillion kind of defeats the purpose of a backrest for longer trips)?

* Could just be a trick of the photos, though, I suppose.

First thing i noticed is the pushing into the seat. Second is i dont like the look with the big driver backrest and the small passenger backrest behind it. i think it would look much better behind the stock seat. Problem is my other half wont even get on the factory passenger seat she went for a ride on it once when we first got the bike and she clearly stated she would never get on that seat again.

Like others I am not as fond of the look of the triumph sisy bar on the bike but when you consider that our rides can be very long and the other half dosnt complain at all its worth the asking and dealing with its looks. Besides anyone who dosnt like the look of the factory sissy bar need only take a peek at my other half and they instantly know! I would bolt the lazy boy in the living room back there if it made her happy!
