My nether region wasn't as comfy the 1st time as I had the top box too far forward
I had that problem with the OEM 'Soft' branded topbox, it's too far forward and you have to remove the box to take the seat off. :GRR:
but main problem was if the mrs was with me I was humping the tank, as she forced me to sit far forward and I had to grip the tank with my legs to stay up the tank far enough...
but a Cymarc plate thing moved the box back 8cm and all is well now.  :lala:

test ride and you'll know we're not talking shiyt!  :grin:

Self same problem! I had a givi box fitted, so the location was my fault entirely! All sorted now though, and 2-up is comfortable for all parts below the waist!!

My only concern is the brakes two up!

Yes, they work, but you definitely feel the difference - shouldn't have test rode the tiger I suppose...
