Great item to have! I was unsure whether I would go for this. But after riding with it, it truly is an amazing addition. Install requires some patience, but not too hard. |

what can i say? it's great! you can even adjust it forward and rearward while riding. it folds down for the wife. you can adjust it up and down by changing bolt locations but i didn't need to. install was a breeze, (I had a nice long knife at hand ) after a thousand miles i can't remember how i rode without it. my trip to maine is going to be alot better thanks to utopia and thanks to wingstuff you guys rock!!! |

This backrest is the best. I had another backrest but could not use it with the addition of a side car, because of the mounting brackets. After the first ride it was very evident that this backrest was much better than the previus one that I had. The bars on the other backrest never bothered my wife untill they were't there any more. Now she says the ride is much more comfortable.The seat cutting is the biggest obstacle to get over. |

Had this a few months before getting brave enough to cut into my brand new seat. So glad I finally did. Very comfortable, adjustable, and wife loves the extra pocket. Video from Steve Saunders web site helped alot. |

What a difference the back rest makes. I had Wingstuff install on my trike and now I just kick back and really enjoy the ride. My girlfriend feels more save with it. |

Easy to install and really fits the look of the original seat. My wife loves the lack of mounting bars digging into her legs, and adores the velcro bag with the carry handle for toting around her extras when we're on the road. As long as Utopia keeps this backrest available, I can't see ever wanting anything else. |

Yep... Lt Dan put mine on and I do like the look and feel. This is the only backrest you need to look at. I have had the others and wasn't happy at all. The Utopia is the way to go. |

I have installed five of these for myself and friends over the past five years. The quality and ease of installation (once you get over the fear of cutting the seat) makes it a great addition. Comfort and looks are second to none. |

I finally got one of these and installed it with a littgle help from a friend who had just bought and installed it his self. I was worth the effort and the savings of doing a self install. Directions were great. Can't wait for a long trip, which is coming up in April. I really like the fact that there is no bars on the sides. I thick it looks just like it came on the seat from the factory. Thanks Utopia and thanks WingStuff for the good price. |

The only way to ride! Cutting the seat was the easy part, lining up the holes a little challenging but well worth the time and effort. If you install this, get ready to get REAL comfortable |

This is a great Backrest that looks like it came with the bike - it should have. The most unnerving part was taking a knife to the saddle. Instructions were adequate. My bike has heated seats and I did have some concern about the heating element and wiring but after looking at the details on the Steve Saunders website you can see that things are pretty well protected. Believe the instructions. Nice storage pouch with the Backrest also. |
