The next day he installed my friends.
One of the differences is that with the quick out, you do not get a "boot" to stick down as a guide to cut the seat with. We just used silver tape and made sure our measurements were right and put down the tape as a "boot" to cut between. This worked great.
The backrest looks like it came with the bike. New years eve was the first time I got to do more than a 30 minute ride with it. It made a huge difference to comfort. Best mod I've done.
Like the quick out, as when I drive and hubby is passenger...lets just say he needs more room than what is available with the backrest there. ;)
We just pull the rest out, put it in the side bag and away we go. Absolutely love it.
Hope this helps.
