  Yep! Had two different height pillion riders on and no issues reported.  I also wondered when I fitted them how much legroom there might be, but they seem fine.

• Strange bulb turns lights... Is it an ABS model?

• Yes it is ABS.  Even 2017 AT's in North America have incandescent turn signals for some stupid North American reason.  Not sure if it was Honda or North American Traffic laws that caused it to happen.  I will change them out for smaller LED light units at some point, along with the relay as long as Honda haven't done anything whacky concerning the wiring for the running lights which the indicators double up as.
