+1 I kind of like the grab bar on the banana seat. Looks like a good place to put your left foot.

Re: F4i question...

I have the banana seat. Some people like it vs. the split seat, because I heard after a while the split seats back end ****s up and it moves around on you alot.

cut 3 pieces of 1/4 inch plywood and make sure they hang over in front of the 2 post that go up to the seat. zip tie all 3 pieces together and slide them up behind the plastic behind the front seat. it has worked for my tail section no cracks at all

I do.

When you stand on the seat, if you put your weight onthe rear seat rather than the plastic, the rear seat starts to losen where it pivots. This primarily effects people who have the rear seat on without the tail plastics.
