The seats are very comfortable, especially the passenger seat. I have a backrest, but when my wife rides with me she is my backrest. I bought the triglide loaded, after wrecking a vulcan 1600 classic that I had been riding for 4 years (I've been riding scooters and bikes for 58 years and have dropped them all without getting hurt. This time it was 7 ribs, collarbone, collapsed lung, unconscious. This happened Dec 20 '09. I took delivery on the triglide April 10, '10. a week later I had withdrawal symptoms and added a new '09 Vulcan 900 custom to my collection. There is nothing like powering through curves on a two-wheeler.
If I find appropriate armrests, I will let you know.
