Fit and finish are good but found out later after riding that not the best backrest for me. My wife says the inside of her legs are uncomfortable after a short ride. also hit a big dip in the road and bent the piping holding the backrest this is the same piping that irritates my wife's legs. It did not bend much but non the less it changed my seating position. This is a good backrest for a single rider only. |

I was recentley hit from behind whilst moving off from behind! the force of the impact bend my backrest by about 40 degrees from it's upright position, if I did not have the backrest, I would have been sent over the back of the bike and potentially suffered damage to my back, though not the obvious reason in buying a back rest, a definate advantage and safefy device in case of a rear end shunt! Would not ride without one! |

Install was very easy, took 20 Minutes, Work Best for me in the furthest back adjustment setting. Recent 430 Mile trip felt like 100. Very nice look! |

J'ai acheté le dosseret avec la moto. Joli look mais je trouve qu'il faudrait pouvoir régler l'inclinaison afin d'obtenir un bon confort. Le dosseret est trop vertical à mon goût. De plus, le montage et le démontage s'avèrent délicats et si l'on ne prend garde, une griffe est vite arrivée. |

I'm short,5'6", so maybe that is why this backrest works well for me as a rider. However, my wife, as a passenger, does not like it at all. She complains that the backrest frame makes her keep her legs out too far to be comfortable on longer rides. I guess she is right since the frame does indeed seem to do this. The answer may be to mount a different style backrests...one without a frame. Anyway, I found the install to be time consuming but pretty straight forward. The unit also seems well made. Take it for what it is and how you think your passenger will like the riding style created by the wide frame. |

This backrest works nice for those long hauls but i wish the settings went a little further back, may opt for the utopia backrest, it seems to get alot of good feedback. |

I love the rest but had some problems with install. Frame is aluminum and I didn't put the bike on the center stand and I stripped the threads on on the left side. Had to drill them out and use helacoils to repair. Turned a 15 minute job into 3 hours. Great product just be careful lining up your bolts as you can strip them out fairly easily. |

I have put many miles on this back rest under a variety of climatic conditions. In warm climate, it's fine; wearing layered clothing for cold weather riding, you will sit either on your gas intake or on your radio control panel. I would not buy it again. |

Good product and finish. I opted to replace with a single post style as wife likes more room for her legs. If you would like to save a few bucks drop me and e-mail and I will give you a deal |
