    Default Driver backrest

    I was wondering if anyone knew if a 2014 drivers backrest would fit my 2011 RT Limited SE5?

    First off & .....The BRP backrest that was designed for the 2014 RT won't fit because the 2011 seat PAN is different. So the bracket of the Backrest can't be attached to the Pan .... .... PM me and I can assist you in what will work for you ..... Mike

    Looks like the seller probably knew it would not fit your 2011 since it didn't work for him on his 2012. If you got the mounting bracket and the backrest, you should have no trouble getting your money back. Just advertise it on this forum in the "For Sale" section. I'm sure Mike can give you good direction on what you need. Good luck and Welcome to SLs Forum..... Jim

    Dear Debby, the answers you receive here will be based on the info you provide !!!! ......... To the best of my knowledge , BRP only started making DRIVER BACKRESTS FOR THE 2014 & up RT's, so I thought you had a BRP backrest ..... from your post #5 .... I NOW think you have a Utopia..... and if that came off a 2012 RT .... it and the mounting Bracket will fit your seat ...... All my above info was based on what you have told us so far ...... Mike

    Go to utpr.com ,Utopia's website and you will find an installation video there. They are very easy to install and worth it. I have had their backrest on two motorcycles so far and loved them.

    Debby thank you for getting back to us on this ….and " Pegasus1300 " is correct, … they can help you, if you didn't get a POUCH with yours they can sell you one for yours ….. check under the back flap for Velcro , that's how the pouch is attached ……. Mike
