Quick Detach Backrest (2021 Pad Design)
ITEM CODE: BB52-968, SKU: BB52-968
Not quick detach
| I’m really scratching my head on these other reviews. Maybe Show Chrome used to have a different design. This is NOT a quick detach backrest. The instructions and design were so far off what I ordered that I was convinced I had been shipped the wrong item but I wasn’t. Instructions show a flat bar to detach from the seat. That’s not the case. The bar for the backrest is curved and does NOT fit through the gap in the seat so it is impossible to install by the directions. Had to fit a modified Allen key (should be included) into the slot to tighten it. It is a permanent fixed backrest. In order to remove it, you’d have to remove the seat (which on the 2024 Goldwing tour is not “quick”) and manage to squeeze the modified Allen key into a slot and painfully remove it. The fasteners were poor quality, cheap flimsy T nuts. I am strongly considering returning this item as it doesn’t match the 21 plus seat like it says, nor is it quick detach like the description. The instructions are awful and wrong, with missing steps. Also for the money I expected higher quality. I’ve gotten better fitment and quality off of Amazon or EBay. Once I finally got it installed properly and tested it out, it wasn’t great. Wouldn’t stay in place and isn’t adjustable enough. Needs more height. Cushion is soft and well padded but still lacked support. Would give zero stars if I could. |

Very comfortable
| I always wondered if it was worth the cost. But after using it I would say definitely YES. Haven’t been on a ultra long ride with it yet but day to day riding it just makes it that much more comfortable (who would have thought) also has the added bonus that the pillion has a little stash bag. This was very easy to install with the supplied instructions. Another bonus it that it’s easily removable. I like it so much that I haven’t removed it since fitting it. |

A little support
| This backrest installed easily in a few minutes and has worked well. The design looks good on the bike and gives you the ability to adjust your seating position saving your back. |

Good once assembled
| It is good once assembled. I just did 3 250 mile days in a row and the backrest is a must have. The padding is well done, the finish is fitting for a wing, once assembled, it is just right and I have zero complaints about that. The issue I do have is that for the price you are doing all the final assembly (well beyond mounting it to your bike) and that aspect of design needs a review at the factory. Numerous screws and nuts and tapped bits needed to be re-tapped, including the holes screws go into in the seat-back, which are blind because they are covered in seat foam. In short, Show Chrome has put themselves at the bottom of my list for parts, until I find worse, as it's not a fair price for a product this unfinished. Lastly, why is "smart" in the product description? You need to carry tools to make adjustments to this. |

Good Backrest
| Backrest was easy to install and looks good on the bike. The hardest part of the install was getting the seat back on. |

Nice product
| This backrest is very well made. Installation is easy once you figure out how to remove and install the seat. Removing and replacing is a snap. I wish they had a better hole cover for the seat. Not sure how often I will remove it, but it is nice to have the option. |

Nice backrest
| It was easy to install. I like the quick release design because I only use the back rest on longer rides on my 2022 non tour Wing. |

Nice match. Very good ajustability
| Install was easy except you need a small L shape Allen wrench. The ones I have did not fit into the weird angle to tighten the seat. They should consider including this cheap tool as it would be helpful. The seat matches nicely and seems to be pretty adjustable for both height and back and forth |

| Matches my 2021 stock seat and adds lots of comfort and support to my lower back on longer rides. Installation took about a hour but was easy. Just follow the instructions exactly as they show and you'll be fine. |
