I have a Grasshopper and love it. The only thing I don't like about is it doesn't tilt like some, and being relatively short, it makes getting on the bike a little more difficult. But I wouldn't be without it.

Grasshopper. Comfortable and easy to remove for the short errands around town.

cactusjack · 08-16-2010, 10:32 AM

If you have any desire to get an aftermarket seat, I'd suggest buying one with a rider backrest. If not, then you have a few options. The grasshopper is one of them, there are a couple of others.

I think Grasshopper is probably the brand that most ride with.

Can't beat Grasshopper for price and comfort. Real nice guy to deal with. Fast shipping.

I have the Utopia and love it. Very adjustable, up, down, forward, rearward and it's easy to install.

**ringadingh** · 08-16-2010, 03:12 PM

I have an 02 as well and I use a Custom World Intl. backrest. it done me well over the years.
