This is a cool lick and stick product for cruisers lacking a pillion seat.

Pillion pad that doubles as an expandable tailpack.

God we are harsh on our poor (prospective) pillions.

Not knocking the product - its not a bad idea - but fuck me, who'd volunteer to do more than 20k on one of those?

A number of our guys have similar pillion pads or rudimentary seats - it doesn't surprise me that we have a lot of couples with a bike each nowadays

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but that's actually a Polaris/HD joint marketing initiative to double household bike ownership.

I was thinking though, for something like the Rocker, it would give you somewhere to stash some wets. It's the bag rather than the seat you see.

Hang on.....

Are you planning to fit one to your XR1200 when you buy it, Dr Walsh?

They have luggage for the XR.

"FLHTCU - Electraglide Ultra Classic" is the designation you're looking for.
