Was that from the factory or a DEALER OPTION?

At the Illinois Guzzi rally several years ago a guy had a High Rider. Being a long time Norton owner I asked if I could set on it to see how different it was than a Roadster. To my surprise the seat was comfortable for the rider,no idea how a passenger was supposed to deal with the ski slope rear part… The handlebars weren’t bad either,and I hate ape hangers! Two gallon tank ensures you don’t have to sit on it too long…
