Hello Jim

Here is my .02.

I owned a Trohpy 900 before the ST and I think you would be making a big
mistake......let me say again....big mistake.

The seat on the Trophy is not any better than the ST....I am talking about
the passenger...and wind protection I dont think would be that much
better....My Trophy was a '96 so maybe the new are better with the new
fairing.

Do all you can to help .....get here an airhawk....try anything.....or maybe
get another bike that is more suited to two up....and keep the ST...
wouldnt that be great....you just get another bike....just that easy:)

Just think too how unhappy your wife would be after you got the Trophy and
realized what  a dog it is compared to the ST:)

Just my .02.....good  luck either way.

Robert
