I recently remove the tour pack from my 06 Venture, purchased a rear seat online and had Richs Custom Seats http://www.richscustomseats.com/ build me a platform. I also purchased a 3'X2' black magnetic strip that I can place over the seat mounts when I don't want to use the storage platform. Oh, and lowered the front by 1" loving the better mobility. I would curious on thoughts.
