Great buy
| As others have said it’s a bit scary cutting into the seat. Measured and eye balled for about a half hour. Anyway came out great and this is definitely a great addition to the bike. Very adjustable and comfortable. Love that the stitching matches the 40th Anniversary stitching on stock seat. |

Love it
| If I installed it, anyone can. The seat looks and works great! I would purchase it again no doubt. Took me longer than it probably should, but it was worth it. |

Utopia 40th Anniversary backrest
| There is simply no substitute for the best. I tried a cheaper knock off and I was so disappointed! I couldn’t wait to put the real deal on my bike. I love the matching red stitching also. |

Best in the business
| I had one of these on my 2 wheeler; now that I have a trike, I installed another. Can't be beat. No brackets to mess with the passenger like the Kuryakyn I took off. |

No more slouching
| Installation was pretty straight forward. It took me awhile to get the courage to cut into my seat. If you follow the instructions and watch the installation videos, it's not that bad. This was the best accessory I purchased for my bike. No more slouching which would cause fatigue in my back and shoulders. Now I can ride all day with no problems. I would definitely recommend this product. |

Great Addition
| Like others, I was not so sure about cutting into my stock seat to add this backrest. However. the instructions were good and there are a couple uTube videos available that gave me enough encouragement. The installation went easier than expected but be careful if you have a heated seat. WOW! what a difference in comfort!!! Before the backrest even some shorter rides I found my back and shoulders strained and tired. After installation, those issue went away when I threw the packing in the trash! Noteworthy is on acceleration before I had to "hold on" to the handgrips. After the installation I could just sit back and enjoy the power as I accelerated. I did have to mount my bike differently. I find even on the side stand to just step on the foot pegs it is easier to throw your leg over. Yup, I'm an old guy and still can! |

Red stitching starting to fade
| I have had this back rest for about 6 months and the red stitching is starting to fade some. This is my second Utopia Backrest which works great. |

Looks like a custom seat.
| If your wife is heavy it can get in the way and DE installation is 2 screws. Gives ample support, has a handy pouch. Stay focused when installing or wreck your seat. Accurate alignment is necessary. Measure thrice and cut and drill once. I succeeded first time though my profession calls for accuracy. |
