BRP Backrest for Comfort Seat
Is the BRP backrest worth $300 for the Comfort Seat? If you have one, would you buy it again?
Thanx!

I would buy it again, my back loves it. I have a 2014 with 25,000 miles on it and the backrest has made it a much more enjoyable ride.

I have the BRP riders backrest on my stock seat. It was a little pricey but I would buy it again. It really does make a difference than riding without a backrest. Some of the aftermarket ones that I have seen appear to be considerably smaller than the BRP model. The BRP backrest is large enough to provide support for your entire back but not so large that it is intrusive. While I haven't used an aftermarket backrest I would have concerns that a smaller one would provide adequate support during long trips.

Yes, without a doubt I would buy again. Solid, easy to remove and comfortable from the start. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it as the quality and engineering excellent.
I have had aftermarket on my last RT, it was ok but was loose and lost its adjustment all the time. It had a lot of sloop left and right which makes tight cornering through the rider to the side of the turn which is the opposite of what you want when pushing the limit.

Is it easy to remove if you have a passenger.

Very easy to remove and put back on, I leave mine on with my passenger, it keeps me from leaning on her. And because it locks under the seat it can,t be stolen

I had a Utopia on the OEM seat and now have a BRP on the comfort seat. The Utopia is more comfortable, mostly because it is adjustable.

I found a small lot of BLACK BRP backrests for the Comfort seat at $350 each - new. That's still over my threshold of pain, so if interested, look to Fleabay.
