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. |

This is one great backrest. Instructions are reasonably easy to follow. Cutting the seat was not that big a deal as the results are truly woth it. Instructions show an older seat bottom. Honda must have changed it so the photos did not look like what I have. Pushing the bar through the seat and ling up the bolt holes was the most difficult part of the whole operation. |

Great backrest, not as hard to install as it first looks. Just follow the instructions which are in detail. Really looks great on the bike. True Goldwing quality. |

Beautify OEM looking product. Easy to install (yes even cutting the seat, follow instructions and it is a no brainer) The only item to make cross country trips tolerable! Plus so easy for riders to get on and off, unlike many of the other bar type back rests. This is the caddilac of back rests and is only fitting to be installed on a Gold Wing, much like Mastercard...Priceless! |

Put one of these on my Yamaha and had to have it on my wing as well. Easy to install and well worth the money after riding my wing without it. Even fits the Goldwing seat better then on my Yamaha. Will not have any other, great for those long rides or even the short ones. Never a tired hurting back again. |

If you don’t have one buy one. Making the cut is easy just think of your bank manager. I made two short trips since fitting the backrest and must say it’s made a huge difference. Its looks like part of the saddle. Great product, good price. |

I did quite a bit of research before buying my Utopia back rest. I didn't like the Idea of cutting the seat. But all my research poited to this being the best back rest. Well I am here to tell you that I am glad I bought this seat. It is almost like it is a continuation of the factory seat. very comfortable and solid. Doesn't croud the wife either. Note: when doing your install after you make your cut in the seat run serated knife in at a slight angle toward the front. |
