I've been looking online quite a bit for a way to shorten the passenger seat and get rid of or at least shorten the sissy bar...just feel like its one of the only things that really "ages" this bike. I've seen some old threads about this topic but most of the people haven't been on in years. So i was hoping that maybe someone has some current experience or ideas.

I have seen several that just cut the sissy bar of at the fender rails and then cut the foam out of the rear seat and reupholstered it keeping the rear pan the same so that it still covers the ignition boxes and wiring. The only question I had with all of it was how to then attach the rear seat as it is normally attached to the top of the sissy bar.

Again I'm just hoping to find someone with some experience with it that I can maybe pick there brain on the issue.
