Utopia backrest

[Blastedbones]

Just fitted one of those driver utopia backrests. Easy to fit on the Rivco chromed rack( pillion seat replacement rack). We did 350kms yesterday, & they were the comfiest riding miles EVER! no hint of my usual back pain! wish I'd bought one ages ago!!!.
Riding terrain; mostly twisty,bumpy, backroad sportsbike stuff. :mrgreen:

Yea, I mounted one in 2009 for my cross country trip, made it a breeze for 400 mile days. Now I just can't seem to get myself motivated to take it back off.

How coincidental. Just mounted one on my Vision last week. I like it.

No idea - but the difference between no backrest and Triumph backrest is stunning. Esp with low screens.

i would say one of the grreat combos to run is the Throttlemeister http://throttlemeister.com/ cruise control on the handlebar and the back rest.YOu can take your hand off the throttle and lean into the backrest.Awesome. Stops you sliding backwards under heavy acceleration ,Bones?

I got the Triumph backrest a few weeks back,easier on the shoulders. The OEM backrest was $99 and the classic seat a $150 approx new from the dealer,so no excuse not to have one.
