My wife and I ride together and my back started going out after long rides in a severe way. The installation required to adults to mate the upper bars with the lower bars and the adjustment nuts ride directly against the seat for a non adjustable fit on the lower bars. The seat makes it difficult for the passenger to get seated and presses against the passengers legs and abdomen for an uncomfortable ride. One of the rivets on snap fasteners on the first ride. This solved my lower back issues, but not good for passengers. I wish the old fold down models were still available. This looks and works more like a cheap handicap assist device. Sorry, I wish I could provide a better review, but this is an honest review. |

I decided on this over the "seat cutting" models because the "seat cutting" modifications did not seem to afford lateral protection and appeared they would hurt the seat over time. This is not an issue with this style. Went on easily... Guard against cross threading the knobs (installation warns of this), and this seems easy to do... otherwise very satisfied with this backrest... |

There is a reason why so many GL1500 riders have this installed - it is awesome! Easy to install and to remove when necessary. Love it! |

Great investment for the long trip support. They only change that would be nice would be if there was an adjustment for the angle of the back rest pad. |

I love my backrest. Looks great and adds far more comfort to my ride when I want to slouch a little. Great back support and doesn't interfere with my passenger's space. |

Installed today and it feels great. Looks really good on the bike. Short test ride after install (cold weather) but can tell it is going to make trips even more enjoyable. (Didnt think that was possible.) |

The reason I gave this item 4 out of 5 stars is there is little to no aft adjustment. After installing it I had to move it all the way back in the side sliders to get backrest to vertical with rider seatback. (as it shows in picture) Other than that it looks great, was easy to install, and makes riding long distances a breeze. |
