    Default Will a 2014 & up Utopia backrest fit a 2020 RTL?

    Does the Utopia backrest 2014 and newer fit the ‘20 RTL? Perhaps a pic of it on a ‘20?

    I sort of doubt it although I've been wrong before (many times). Send Bob @ Utopia an email. He's a great guy. I'm sure he can let you know. If he doesn't have one that fits now, I'll bet he will shortly. Best backrest I've ever had. Had one on my 2012 Victory Vision and now another one on my 2018 RTL.

    not sure maybe you can email them and ask if they have one that fits, you can also find a back rest for a 2020 RTL here http://www.lamonstergarage.com/backrest-can-am-rt-2020/

    Over the years I've mounted quite a few " Utopia's " .... the actual backrests are pretty much the same with different colors , stitching, and finish of the vinyl ..... what they do different is the mounting ( to the pan ) hardware.... it varies depending on the exact seat pan it's going to be used for .... I haven't been on their web site for awhile - so check it yourself to see if they have the new bracket for the 2020 seat ( it's different from the 10 to 13 and 14 to 19 seats...... I've had them for every touring bike and also my GS and RSS Spyders..... to me it's the most adjustable backrest made ..... you can even put a wedge at the bottom of the backrest for lumbar support and they do fold completely down for passenger or driver getting on or off ..... and they $100.00's less then OEM .....Mike
