Nice addition on my GL1800. Really helps on long rides. Very versatile in that you can swivel these 360 degrees to fit any size rider. Can also mount on lower arm of engine guard. |
Really helps keep the dust down on my gravel road. Take your time drilling holes in fender. Tape only allows you one chance to get it right. |
Like a lot of other comments....scared me to death to cut the seat. Watched the video on Utopia's website and it helped. I had a little trouble lining up the brace but with a little coaxing it went in fine. The feel this backrest gives you is unbelievable. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep on long rides. I intend to replace the screw holding the back rest in with a cotter pin for quick removal. My wife says it is a little crowded now that the rest is in place. |
Looks great on my GL1800. Should have a template to drill holes. Would have made lining up with rack easier. Be careful, instructions say to use masking tape to protect paint as you install. It helps but I still got minor scuffs in paint. I mounted approximately 1 1/2 inches back on trunk and it is no problem to wax under without ordering risers. Looking forward to seeing how this item holds up on trip to Daytona Bike Week. |
Got these for Christmas and installed them immediately. Really dresses up the area. Look great! Just enough BLING! One of my Harley buddies asked "Do they actually open and close?" |
This is one of the first items I bought to dress up my new GL1800. They look great and were very easy to install. Just enough for this spot on my GL. |
Look great and protect the bike from those boots. Take your time installing, you only get one shot. |
The floorboard looks great and provides great comfort on a long ride. However, When up-shifting it is a stretch reaching the back shift pad of the heel-toe shifter. The heel pad of the shifter is set too far back. I find it very uncomfortable and often miss gears because I cannot adequately apply enough pressure to assure a good shift. I will likely switch back to OEM set-up. |
Like Daveo recommended....get the bottom edge right....and the fit is better. I clamped the 2 ends overnight. Like the fact that it's metal....looks good |
Looks great and Gives a much need Bling to all that black on the handle bars |
Nice touch very easy to install.Looks great |
Looks Good but did not fit right. Upper pins will not line up. Still hanging in after a trip to the Gulf Coast. 2000 miles later it still on. |
