Passenger Backrests
My wife has an RT-S SE5 and I have a F3T. Our daughter is old enough to come with us now and generally rides on the RT with my wife. However, sometimes she requests (read: insists) to ride with me on the F3T. I'm not super comfortable with her on there without a backrest. So, I got to shopping this week. I started with the overpriced offerings from BRP. I REALLY liked the adjustable permanent mount unit, part # 219400601. The back pad is very large and the adjustability seems key for a smaller rider. Will the larger, permanent one fit in the backrest pouch of my outdoor BRP cover?
I'm also considering the SmoothSpyder rest. Anyone with person experience with this unit? The only negative I see is the backrest pad itself seems very small compared to the BRP units. I suppose that's necessary when it's in the forward rider rest position. So, is the compromise worth it for $500 or do I spend double on the OE stuff and get the best of all worlds... Hmmm....
Thoughts and advice appreciated.
