| The folks who intimated that the install instructions could be better were being WAY too kind. No direction beyond "see YouTube videos on installing the Utopia backrest" would have been better than the paper they wasted on "instructions". Just look at the two 5-minute the Utopia backrest install videos (even though this is an Add On product and doesn't say Utopia anywhere I could find). That said, it is super easy to install with the video. Agree that the cut thru the seat is nerve wracking for a minute, but worth it in the end. A good backrest, and this is, makes a huge difference. My bride tells me she doesn't even know it is there. One tip: You'll need a long knife to cut thru the seat foam after you slit the seat cover material. Use a blunt or round point knife for this or be really careful! The videos say to use a serrated knife. I found one of my straight edge carving knives did a better job. But it has a sharp point and I was about 1mm from stabbing it thru the seat material while cutting the foam. A round/blunt point knife would not pose this problem. Or you could pay more attention than I was, apparently. |

| After watching a couple of videos r/t install & building up nerve to cut into drivers seat - was not a hard install. Had one on a previous goldwing and made riding so much more comfortable and a necessity for any distance riding. Do need a specific 9/32 drill bit - can get for about $3.50 @ lowes. |

| This is the second one of these I have bought. Different seat for the second one. As they say, when you finally make the decision to make the cut, it is pretty easy from there on. This is a great product. You will never drive without one again. The instructions could be better. |

| Back rest works well the hardest part of install is working up the courage to cut the seat with a knife. |

| Great product. Creates a nice glow in addition to the regular lights. Turns off when high beams are on, so turning high to low beam really wakes people up when they don't see you. |
