Yeah, I think you have to cut a hole in the seat. May be worth it though. I rode a Gold Wing with the back rest and its really nice. Need one for the Rocket.
Hey Captain Rich..your choice will definity have more function than mine..my only real intent for the low profile is to keep the ol'lady from slippin off the back and carry a small bag..6x14 for dailys to and from work..function will be somewhat limited but ok for my use..... style, however will be like no other... P.S. you've given me an idea for a larger, removable rack that attaches to the small rack for weekends....
