Best Backrest on the market. Had the Show Chrome one with the rails was not comfortable for passenger. |

See the install video and detailed instructions here: https://www.goldwingfacts.com/1800Utopiabackrest.htm This backrest looks almost factory OEM. Installation was easy, but it was a little nerve racking cutting a hole in my seat. It felt awkward at first. It took me a few hundred miles before I started forgetting it was there. However, I can say that I used to have back and shoulder and neck pain after a few hours riding before. Now I can ride all day and not feel any strain in the back, neck, or shoulders. |

Wingstuff delivered at the speed of light. It took all of 35 mins to get it installed and was easier than I thought. I'd studied the instructions thoroughly online before I ordered it. Cutting the seat was far less traumatic than envisioned. The comfort level has gone up several notches, I'm well pleased. |

This is a must have! Went to Belgium just after I've bought the bike. It's 3200 km (2000 miles) back and forth. I almost went to a chiropractor when I got back. After I mounted the Utopia Backrest I've had no problems what so ever. I went on a trip to the Alps and to Italy (6500 km, 4050 miles) without any problems with my back. |

Very happy. 60 miles without a backrest and my back was killing me, 250 miles with the backrest and still going strong. I am sure the first long trip will be fine. I had a bar style on my last 'Wing and it was always rubbing my SO's legs the wrong way. Had this one on my Valk and loved it. I must admit it was hard to do the seat cut. After that it was an easy install. The rest flops around unless you snug the pivot bolts. The only thing I would change is a rounded top, more like the passenger rest. |

If you ride... this is a must have. Installed it myself. For those of you that have gone before me the experience of cutting into the seat of your new bike is enough to question your sanity. But in the end there is no other comfort, hands down. |

Another "must have". As comfortable as a Wing is, my back still needs this support. Installations is a little tricky, at least with a heated seat, but not too bad. |

I too have a bad back. This is with out a doubt a must have. Makes riding the distance much easier. I, unlike all of you brave people, had this one installed. I just could not bring myself into cutting the seat. Great product. |

Very comfy for my broken L2 vertebrea, I can adjust it to support my sore spot, best thing I've got for the Wing yet. Perry. |

Nice & adjustable.. Dont like the way mine keeps flipping upside down. The rear pouch could be attached better-flops around in the wind if empty. Easy to install, the dealer did it :) |

This Backrest is exactly what everyone else has to say about it. It took me about a hour and half to get it in. I measured it 3 times, the cutting was no problem just trying to get the foam out of the way of the screw holes gave me a slight problem. I love the adjustment of up and down and forward and it is so soft on my back. My wife likes the idea of no more bars in the way from the other Backrest I had on. |
