Does this set up with the Protac cause any issues with your passenger?
We were out (wife and I) for a 40 mile ride this evening, our first with the new driver backrest installed. The comment I received from my wife after we finished was that it touches her thighs when seated. She usually uses our Airhawk cushion on the passenger seat, but tonite we left it at home. I'm thinking that when seated on the slightly raised Airhawk, this won't be an issue. Will try it next ride. Also, she said that her movement on the passenger seat is more restricted due to the backrest, and that mounting/dismounting is slightly more difficult. I think this would likely be the case with any driver backrest, not just the Protac one.
