Default Gotta watch the jewels when mounting

the steed (RKC) after putting on the rider backrest! So far the backrest isOK, need some time to figure out which height works best etc. But the first time I lifted a leg up over the saddle in front of the backrest and just slid over...well lets just say that's the last time that will happen! I'm not a tall guy, 30" inseam. [:@]Those of you that have a backrest...ever take it off?

Nope...never take it off. I step between the tank and the backrest, and haven't nutted myself yet. (not much taller than u , btw).

My son is about 5'1".....when he gets on the back, and has to maneuver himself between the tourpack backrest and the driver backrest....lets say I heard him howl a couple times....

Never take mine of either. It folds forward for easy mounting.

You only mount & dismount a horse from the left.

Technique: mount from the right, by supporting right foot on the floor board,squeeze thefront break, stand-up and then throw the left leg over the seat. Dismout the same way.
