I sold this guy one of my backrest in Japan. He said he cut up a Luis Vutton bag to make the seat covers thats like an $800 bag!! His tank and tail section are real carbon fiber not stickers covering it (I didn't know they even made those in carbon). They are not the best pics, but I thought the org would enjoy pictures of this guys bike. 
Depends....how much do you weigh??
Leaning forward and back shouldn't but wiggling side to side does.

I went to Florida, g/f weighed about 130 and I had about 50 - 60 pounds of luggage on the rack. I didn't feel any different other than extra weight. It did cause the front to come up easier but nothing crazy or unexpected. I have also been through the curves of the dragon with about 50lbs of luggage and no passenger it did not affect anything just felt like I had more weight.

Love your design ! Wondering if you ever thought of making the supports out of tubing or round bar similar to the stock grab rail. Think of grabbing the rail and pulling it up and back at 45 degrees then extending it to the rear. I think it would suite the bike better and maybe be easier on the tush. Wish I had the skills to work metal like you can.
Yet another aftermarket part. I love this bike! Great job on the product KVHotDog4!

That is a great idea and I will look into it, however I do not have the equipment to bend tubing or to bend solid round stock over 1/2". As far as easy on the tush I assume you are thinking the side braces would hit the passenger, they do not. The brackets follow the same angle as the grab bar its just extended to go higher. It should not touch your passenger unless the factory grab bar does.

OK, odds are I'm going to get one but I have a question. My tail bag has a slip pocket that is supposed to slide over the backrest, but on this one cushion and all looks thicker than what my bag can do. I'd want to keep the thinker backrest cushion, or at least the wife would. What would you charge to add two more posts right behind the backrest? Just vertical round bar like you have right behind the bars for the backrest.
How difficult would it be, as well as how much strength would you loose, IF....
the seat back portion was made to be removed. (threaded and or bolted). For those that suddenly want to hall more stuff without the height of the back rest in the way due to width?
That rare time you have to carry something back.

For those that have a rear bag/box .
If the seat back could be removed easily. Then the rear bag/box could be attached to the luggage rack and be very very versital.

I have had other people ask about this same thing, and I have been checking into it. My idea would not loose any strength, actually if my I am correct it would be stronger. However, that idea I have will require cnc machining which means thicker steel and paying someone to write a program. It would cut down my labor but it all depends on how much I would be charged to have the program written, either way the price will vary a great deal and thats why I have not pursued it because I have not had a whole lot of people willing to pay $250 or $225 for this model (even when I say the price is flexible lol). I will look back into it however the price would be in the $275 - $300 range.(cnc machines are very expensive to use and have programmed and the rack would have to be cut out of a solid piece of steel.)
How long is the bag in your picture? I can make the luggage rack custom to where it will fit perfect for you, and as long as its not extremely long it would look great. The rack now is about 9" from the back of the cushion and 10" wide at its widest point.
As far as the chrome, I have been wanting to check into this as well for my personal BusaRest. I will be getting the wheels re chromed on my truck here pretty soon and I will check to see how much it would cost to have one of my backrests chromed. I may get a deal on having multiple items.
Thanks for your interest in my product! I you have other questions please reply
