    Default We're Famous!

    I sent a picture to Bob @ Utopia Backrests of his backrest our our Spyder. He got it up on his website already. Take a look:

    I love this backrest. I've had one on my Goldwing since 2001 or 2002 & it shows no wear on the backrest or where I cut the saddle to install. Also have one our my wife's 2008 Silver Wing (which is for sale, now that she has the Spyder).

    God bless,

    I like it, I sent a question to them seeking more information about if:
    1. they are planning to create a passenger backrest to rivals those that cost over $600+.
    2. If the backrest was truley removable.
    Very quick response and completly understand where they are coming from. Still thinking it over but would love to see one in person.

    From Bob
    "We don't make passenger backrests, except replacement pads to match our backrest. Never wanted to get into the liablilty of a sissybar braking and passenger falling off back.
    Our quickout option for our driver backrest, is not available on your model, but you can remove one bolt at hinge to remove pad. Thanks, Bob"

    Very Happy Owner

    Wow! That was quick. The BRP comfort seat and backrest are mine. I just received it back from them yesterday. Since they had never done a comfort seat before, we USP'd the seat to them and they created the back rest for it. They did a great job in copying the stitch and pattern of the comfort seat. The metal post is a bit longer than that used for the regular seat. I took the bike out for a ride last night and yes its very comfortable. I'll post pictures very soon...Joan

    Joan,
    Your seat looks awesome!

    Did you notice that the picture they credit to you is the same as the one I sent them? I think they got them confused...

    I'll have to take a look. I e-mailed them the pics a few hours ago.

    Hey Mark, I just went on their website and evidently they corrected the mistake. Utopia certainly is a good company with which to work...Joan
