Twas a rainy day today so I took the opportunity to install this backrest on the Hot Rod. The video saved soooo much time knocking out the critical parts of the install process...The written instructions are clear enough, just nice to see it done before you dig in yourself. At first I thought I would need the back adjusted all the way up for my 6' frame, but after experimenting with it some, I found that the all the way down position fits the small of my back best. That's good too because it made it a little easier to mount and dismount the bike...I know I know, it folds down. In between rain showers, I ran out for an ice cream. Should have gotten this backrest sooner...I love it. |
| Put the standard handlebar risers on at the begining of the riding season and have ridden about 1800 miles with them now and no more neck/shoulder pain. The instructions are very poor and actually found the ones on their website have a bit more information than the ones that come with the product. It would be nice if Honda gave just a bit more slack in the cables but when moved and secured as instructed I can still move from full left to full right positions. |
| I like them but they impede ability to remove the cover to fill the coolant, alternator, etc. I have to remove the shifter. bummer |
| My first real review..I've put over 4K with this backrest. I'm not mechanical..I had it installed. The only thing, I wish i could remove it easily. Yo have to remove the bolts. Other than that.. VERY Comfortable |
| beautiful addition to your wing. template for drilling was accurate and brake light hookup plug and play. if you already have a luggage rack installed check the mounting location befor drilling. i had to relocate the spoiler 1/4" rearward to clear the rack mount. |
| I started using these on my Honda Valkyrie. Where regular weights worked when the tires are new, these work all the time as you wear out your wear. Also noticed a improvement in tire wear as I don't get the cupping anymore. |
| Bought this for my Honda Valkyrie. This fits on top of the brake cylinder perfectly, fits like a glove. Took about 10 minutes to install and also connect to the 3 accessories I now have the control to turn on/off. |
| A noticeable difference with the shifting. Also can't beat the price and that the it from Honda! |
| Installed them yesterday. Took us(2) about 4 hours to do the job. Included instructions were clear and easy to follow. The front is now 1.5 inches higher than the stock suspension and quite a bit more compliant over bumps. The rebound from hard braking is far better. |
| It's cheap so it dries out quickly, but cools as it does, like it's supposed to. Wife loves it. Just carry water and a bag to recharge it every so often. |
| After using this for a couple of years, it's faded a bit and when you use the side pockets extended, be careful when closing the trunk or you can bend your antennas! |
| I painted by rack black to match the bike. I used a large stainless steel bolt instead of the hitch ball and looks much cleaner when the bag is off the bike. I turned the bag around so the front pocket faces the bike so I can attached LED strip lighting to the bottom of the frame and be seen. The long locking bars that go through the bag and the rack are too long so I used rubber spacers to keep them from bouncing around. The locks really don't do much good because you can simply remove the two clips from the rack anchoring it to the hitch, and off it comes. I always remove it that way since it's easier and faster. A couple welds on the mesh pan are loose from the rack frame, but no big deal. The bag seems well made but I haven't had it in the rain yet. The attached rain cover looks like it would blow off. Unlike the photo, you really can pretty much still see the license plate. Tons more storage, doesn't seen to affect my handling of the bike. Just be careful with backing up clearance. Many compliments from other riders. |
