    Doesn't have enough dimensions to satisfy me if I was in need of one. Don't see any mention of compatibility with Comfort Seat. Doesn't look like back support would be anywhere near comfortable as BRP backrest for Comfort Seat. You get what you pay for.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    As you investigate I suggest you look for a backrest that adjusts up/down and forward/back, and does so in ways other than just a tilt.

    Well this really isn't so ….. I built and sold quite a few backrests ( using Utopia and others Pads ) and my custom made base bracket ….. I found that no one wanted the backrest pad any higher than at seat Edge height, because if it was higher, the top edge would rest against parts of your back that actually made it un-comfortable.... the backrest really can't be moved backwards because ot the shape of the BRP seat …… Being able to tilt the pad is really good …. I found if I shimmed the bottom of the pad against the support bar , I could achieve a nice amount of Lumbar support …. and it could be varied by the thickness of the Shim ……. Mike

    That looks like the Show Chrome unit I just bought from Amazon. It is a good price as you won't have to pay sales tax. It works fine after much fiddling for adjustment.

    I have the show chrome Backrest. It serves me well. I am wondering if it will work on the comfort seat.

    That is a cheap knock off from China. All Show Chrome backrest are made in the USA.
