| I have a lower back ‘lumbar’ region that requires constant support in any type of chair. Although this back rest does not support that low, it still supports enough to allow me to relax and be on the bike for a longer period of time. The adjustment of fore, aft and height works well. The quick fold forward feature to allow a passenger to mount and dismount is excellent. I’ll attach a small lumbar roll to the lower part of the backrest to make it right for me. Installation is straightforward, watched a couple of videos for pointers. Cutting thru the foam is the most demanding / anxious part, but I had no trouble lining up with the bracket. Overall, an excellent product and I definitely would recommend this for the Goldwing. |

| The Utopia Backrest, IMHO is a MUST HAVE for my Goldwing - I've had the backrest on both my bikes now and will include it on any future bikes - installation is simple and there are a load of videos on YouTube to walk you through step-by-step. The stitching matches perfectly to my stock seat and you can't beat the quality of the workmanship. |

| Probably one of the best accessories I've added to a motorcycle. It eliminated any and all strain that comes with riding after a while. The instructions were easy to follow and the quality of the backrest seems to be quite good. I would recommend this product. |

| Recently add the Utopia backrest on my GL1800. Install was simple and took me less than an hour. The backrest, combined with handlebar risers eliminated my back pain in long rides. |

| I like it. It was pretty easy to install after watching utube video instruction. The cut was needs to be a little further to the rear, not centered between the seams...at least on my 2016. |

| Nervous like others to cut into the seat, but went far easier than I thought. Didn't dare use my wife's bread knife, but found a dry-wall saw worked great - tapered tip, sharp and cut through easily. Experimenting with how far I tilt the backrest, but made riding more enjoyable! |

| easy to install. I was nervous, at best ,to cut the seat. But the instructions were easy to follow. Measure twice, cut once. definitely worth the price! |

| Ordered and received my backrest in record time without incident. All required parts for instalation were packaged in same box with good instructions. No hidden surprises arose as I followed the directions to the letter. The only slight encounter was moving the foam inside the seat so I could line up the holes for attachment. Anxious to try it out and see how my bad lower back would react to this new device I headed out from Toronto to London which is a 90 minute excursion. I can honestly state for the record, I have never spent money on anything as wonderful as this backrest. I would recommend this equipment to anyone looking for comfort. |
