goose, it is comfy, I rode it to work this morning and felt good. I think I need to lower it just a couple of inches to hit the sweet spot on my back.
Ahhh, yes. The all-elusive "B" spot.

Lowering the back pad will also make the bracket less likely to bend too.

Looks very good in the pic, well done.

What I did to my gz today is install a 2005-2009 Suzuki boulevard c90 sissy bar backrest. To make it work I had to drill one hole in each bracket and install some longer bolts. I paid 39.99 for it new from ebay.
