This back rest saved my life. Thank you Big Bike Parts!
| We purchased this backrest in May of 2014 for our new GL1800. Easy, (but scary) installation, looked fantastic, and was comfortable for my 6' tall husband. Then we had a terrible accident in July, 2015, when an SUV decided to pull out into our path on a 55 mph country road. As the passenger, I pitched forward and hit the backrest, which kept me in my seat. Husband was transported by ambulance for his injuries, I was able to refuse treatment and walk away with a nasty groin bruise, and some stomach bruising. The bike was totaled. When I removed the backrest from the bike to inspect it for damage, I noticed that the main bracket was just slightly bent at the bottom, where the bolts connect, something that Big Bike confirmed by e-mail. (Please look at my profile photo - that is a closeup of the backrest base, where I hit it.) Big Bike Parts sent me a new bracket and fresh bolts for less than $25. They were WONDERFUL to deal with, we received the new bracket in 3 days. This is an excellent, well designed backrest - now installed on my replacement bike! I would certainly buy this backrest again. Ride Safe! |
