Wow, Joan, they certainly did do a nice job matching the stitching detail. Can't wait to see it in person. Hope it works well for you.

Thanks Scotty, I took it out for a ride last night and I'm totally happy! Joan

Joan, that looks great!! It matches very well. You have a very nice looking bike with your Corbin luggage! Enjoy!

All things considered, IMHO the passenger comfort question is a relative one. The comfort seat has the same passenger seat surface as the standard passenger seat. The question to consider is what type of passenger back rest will the passenger use...BRP, Corbin, nothing, another brand? The BRP passenger back rest is adjustable and therefore offers the passenger options. The Corbin which you saw in the pictures is not adjustable, yet allows the same amount of space as does the BRP when set in the closest position. With that said, I typically don't carry a passenger.
Rider size is another consideration with regard to comfort. While I'd be quite comfortable riding in the passenger position, there's no way my husband could ride there because of the Corbin backrest. So checking it out personally is the practical thing to do. Your passenger is right to question the level of comfort.

Thanks Mike. I couldn't have made the long haul to Idaho and back without my Corbin. All I need now is a GPS and a cup holder.
Maybe Santa will be good to me...Joan

that looks great I want one...wish I knew for sure that wouldn't hinder my wife sitting in the back. Does the storage bag come with it and do you know if the outside cover would still fit?

Yes, the "purse" comes with the back rest. I don't know about the outside cover...sorry.

I have the same issue this does look nice however. I am trying to wean my spouse of the Ultra rear seat and armrest, when I was riding with my own backrest it kept her in there 'snug' and she has even gone to sleep on occasions and I did not worry, however the Spyder is very different and more sports like and it is taking a time a she is still concerned about not being so secure.
This looks like a good start/compromise but I am hanging in there for something like the Ultra tour pack set up or the Goldwing/Honda tourpac set up to make her at ease. I remember seeing a photoshop of a Spyder with an FLH front fairing and rear set up and it did not look half bad really, the front I can do without but the rear seat for the passenger comfort can be improved a great deal and I wish I was more creative and had the ability to try and make it so....This certainly looks good however.

Here's another pic of a backrest on a stock seat...Now I'm trying to decide whether to order one right away, or wait until I purchase a comfort seat and get a backrest that matches--like yours...
That photo is of my wife's Spyder sitting in our driveway. Bob (Utopia) didn't have a pic of one installed, so I sent that pic to him. Either saddle you go, I think you'll love the backrest.

Thanks for the recommendation, Mark--and the photo credits!

Because my husband and I are now taking long trips on the motorcycles, I wanted a bit more comfort in the seat as well as needing to get a backrest. I considered the Corbin as well as the Russell Day Long, but decided on the BRP comfort seat after sitting on it at the dealership. So, I talked with Utopia and they were very accommodating. I think either way you'll be pleased with the Utopia backrest.
