    Has anyone reduced the depth of the 2014 SP rider backrest to make tucking in possible/easier? Can't find any suppliers. May have to get some foam pads or something, race bike style.

    I have a 2016 SP and I am also fairly thin. I haven't found anything short of a block of rubber foam that came loose and vanished at my last track day.

    Was it easy to remove the original pad? Looks like it may have a rivet holding it on as well as the rubber push fit fixings?

    I just stuck the foam rubber pad to the stock pad. Maybe that's why it decided to leave me in a tight right hander..lol.

    That must have felt weird for a couple of seconds until you realised the bike hadn't stretched!

    It did. I went back to the tuck after the turn and I slid way back under acceleration.
