I like the hump when I ride and don't have to worry about someone wanting a ride. The seat is on for the weekends as we take some long rides together. The ugliest thing in my opinion is the damn hump dremeled out to fit over the grab rail. I gave up on running the grab rail the first month I had the bike. Not that it was a pain (only four bolts) to take it on and off but I think the bike looks cleaner with out it with the seat or the hump on.
