I need a Driver Backrest for my 2008 GS. I have one for the passenger. Can anyone recommend one or a new seat.

I like the Corbin Ovalbak. It isn't solid so your back doesn't get hot.

Thanks Farmboy. Have looked at those before but wasn't sure how it looked after on. I'll check them out again!!

I agree and they will bend over backwards for you with any questions or concerns that you might have. If you want, look up this thread: "Kudos to the Utopia Backrest people" they really came thru for me!!:thumbup::clap:

Utopia if you are not going to change out the OEM seat or buy a Corbin.

Corbin with backrest is my current choice. Had one on my 2008 GS and now on my 2010 RTS.

I installed the Utopia backrest a week ago and works great.

I am suffering for many years from lower back problems, this weekend I did a 1000+ miles ride and felt great, the backrest is defiantly the best modification I did to the Spyder.

:congrats: on your Spyder and :welcome:.

I have an '08 GS with the Corbin seat and backrest that you can move to either position. This works great for us but you would need the whole set up from Corbin. Another solution that you might consider is the new adjustible backrest from one of our sponcers. Check it out here.

Our '08 has the Ultimate seat and backrest...love them. Will probably put a Utopia backrest on my '12 RT since I'm happy with the seat that's on it. Will switch to an Ultimate seat and backrest when I need a new seat. They've got excellent customer service.

I just installed the Utopia backrest on my 2008 GS. It was easy to install and looks great. I haven't had a chance to test ride yet, but have heard great things about them. I can't wait until tomorrow for a test ride!
