Works well for solo riding. The side rails rub the passengers legs, but it is removed easily for 2 up riding. I have noticed some rust stains recently on the side brackets. |

It appears to me that the K products are overpriced and quality is ultimately lacking. I had the same issues as othr reviewers - bars bother the passenger, mounting "wheel" comes appart quickly and no longer turns as designed, pulling it off will scratch the mounts unless you are willing to pull the bike over trying to pry them away from the mount. Chrome coverage is on visual side only and not so much on sides less visible. This to me makes it even more obvious that someone is cutting corners, or trying too. Have it for a few weeks, will sell... |

This is a real nice addition to my Wing, both in style and comfort. It's a little difficult to remove but I'm over all satisfied with it and it makes the long rides a little more comfortable. |

Follow up review after a few months. The mechanism for removing and locking in the backrest is miserable at best. It failed and I had to remove the nut that I thought was holding on the locking flange, but after removal of the nut, the flange stayed in place. Great, now I can't get the backrest off. I was final able to turn the locking mech. after prying it out a little bit. On the other side, the mechanism just spins around completely with no stops. I have to say, as time goes on, I become less satified with the more expensive Kuryakyn products. |

This is a very easy and quick install. It helps my back and improves the comfort of the ride. I did have to change the way I mount the bike but that is getting easier with time. I would recommend this item. |

Worked as advertised and did great onalong tripbut had to keep it in middle adjustment for my wife to not have leg problems. I think I will try the Utopia. |

Great for riding solo. However can't figure out the "easy on/easy off". Can anyone assist with this problem? |

I can only endorse what Tom & Doc have said. Great for the driver; can be annoying to the passenger. A must have for riding solo. The heavy chrome mounts are definitely a big plus. |

Great backrest. I feel great after a ride having the support on the back. I have it adjusted to the middle setting and still the wife has plenty of room in the back. Installation is a little tricky. Take your time so you do not mess up the paint job. Cover the painted surfaces of the bike before installing. |

This does the impossible, makes a Goldwing more comfortable!! I like the easy off/on because I can quickly remove it when my Lady rides or put it back on when solo. I don't have to remove it for her but I like her on my back a little bit better ;)(most of the time) I also like that it has 3 adjustments forward and back. |
