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 |

This was a very easy product to install, and provides a great support for my back on long rides. The only complaint I have, or my girlfriend has I should say, is that the bar rubs on her inner thighs when set to the farthest position to the rear. So as a comprimise I ride with the seat set in the middle or "neutral" position. It's not as comfortable for my 6' frame, but still does the trick. Would have ordered the Utopia, but was told by the dealer that it would void out my warranty on my heated seats if they were cut into. If you don't have the heated seats, then the Utopia might be a better seat for you. Otherwise, this one works good. |
