Thinner passenger backrest pad

[Mazo EMS2]

Has anyone found an alternative pad for the backrest on the RT? Our friends bought a 2017 RTL late last year and he would like more room when his wife is riding along. He's not a member on here yet so I said I'd ask the Spyder gurus of a possible source of a thinner back pad.

I've had mine off numerous times ...... and it's not very thick ..... because of what it supprts it doesn't have to be to be comfortable ...... have you ever sat in a chair with a contoured back, pretty comfortable .... and that has NO padding at all.............. I think He can take off the backrest and then let Her try it without the backrest ... She can see if this is an option ..... then possibly re-move the padding and Stretch it over the plastic form and re-staple ..... Mike :thumbup:

My friend Dave took both our RT passenger pad covers off and shaved the padding down mostly on the sides to widen out..There is not much in the middle. Wife says it's a big improvement.

I removed all the padding from the passenger backrest on my RT. It helped a little. As others have said though there is very little padding on the actual backrest, it is thicker on the sides.
