hey how's it going?...I know bpr makes them and there is one called a smooth spyder backrest..on page 2 of this forum there's a thread that talks about it
The Utopia is a pretty good aftermarket backrest. You do have to make a slit in the seat, but when mounted its a pretty good backrest. It does have slight adjustment to it. Cost about $250.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
I second the SmoothSpyder Backrest... here's a pic I posted today about seats... the support arms you see rotate backwards and the backrest angles a bit differently and becomes the backrest for the passenger. You can even move the backrest pad up for more upper back support. At that point the driver has no backrest, except the chest of your passenger (preferably female... and always my wife!!!). There's no removing or disconnecting, just slight loosening and tightening with built-in ratchet bolts.
Only problem I have with it is when I need to get gas. Then I need to move it so I can raise the seat. Pretty easy but it is an added step when using it as a driver back rest.

Simple enough and adds more comfort to me i leave in raised seat position fyi. Does me great
glad to see others that feel the same aboutSMOOTH SPYDER, I had chance to meet Jim fyi great guy and helped me install mine as well. Not the best pic but here's one anyway.
I'm new to the Spyder world. We just bought a 2013 ST Limited and it came with a passenger backrest on it. All the driver backrest I've found are for RT. So what's the best rest for just the driver. Nolmtz, just wondering why you didn't have Russell make a factor rest for your seat. I have an RDL on my Nomad and just love it. Oh yay this is my wives Spyder but she dosen't do forums

Im not sure that will ever happen. She see how much time I spend on forums and how much money I've spent being on them ( mods and such) I think she thinks I'm wasting my time.
Need help find backrest
