    Default Driver's Backrest for an F3S Special - what do YOU use?

    Looks like I have a bunch of options (and quite a range of prices) from CanAm's own to LaMonster and Smooth Spyder. Do any of you have experience with these on an F3S (good or bad) you would like to share?

    I have the Lamonster backrest and highly recommend it. High quality, sturdy. Adjustable. Folds down so wife can easily get in passenger seat and she likes the little pouch in back of it to put stuff in.

    Smooth Spyder here. Had the OEM backrest when I bought it, but this is infinitely adjustable easily for both driver and passenger.

    BRP driver backrest here - very sturdy, folds down, and very comfortable.

    Are you SURE that you've got all the bracketry &/or have it adjusted properly?? I haven't seen any other OEM Backrests flopping around at all, except for a couple that'd been installed (supposedly by a competent tech at a dealer too! ) with either no or just part of the bracketry that's meant to hold them firmly from under the seat...

    Got any pics you could share?? Maybe we can help?

    I really like the ultimate seat with backrest. Easily removed with plenty of adjustment. Much better over stock seat. For my long commute is worth it. Can't recommend enough.

    You will not be disappointed with the quality or functionality of the Smooth Spider from Jim.
