I just ordered a Saddleman Explorer with a built-in passenger backrest for $450.00 off Ebay. Claims it will ship 6/29. Has Gel pads front and rear. Cheaper than buying the factory gel seat and a backrest plus I like the idea of being able to pull the touring seat off and going solo for looks without having to unbolt the factory backest.

Girlfriend has a sore butt after 25 miles on the stock seat. My limit is 120 miles with the stock seat but I won't ride solo with that big clunky 2 up saddle on the bike. Factory Gel Seat has no passenger gel, but I may order one for riding solo.

I'll let you know what the Explorer is like when I get it.
