Backrest

[mtbear]

My new RTS should be in, in about a week and was wondering if anyone know's where I can get a drivers backrest for it?
Thanks in advance.

Be sure to get the deluxe and it will match your stock seat, stitching and all.

We are really happy with the Utopia backrest and agree on buying the deluxe version. I had my dealership install for just under $100. They did a super job. It makes all the difference in the world in comfort.

If you are going to keep your seat, then Utopia back rest is the best. I don't think anyone here will dispute that.

SAVE YOUR $100.00 and install it your self. It took about 1/2 hour and it looks great. NO BIG DEAL.
JUST follow the instructions and it turns out great, why pay someone else to follow a few simple instructions. You can even call them if you have any questions while you are doing it.

Take that $100.00 and put it towards something else for your new , !

If you have the courage to take a knife and a drill to a brand new perfectly good seat...
(I still haven't built up the courage for that one yet...)

I can recommend the Utopia back rest...and, agree with previous postings, you can do the install yourself.
Happy Utopia backrest rider...

here's the problem with sites like this.....I spend and then you guys encourage/force me to spend more...I ordered the alternate backrest, then I read this post and looked again....and spoke with the wife.....we agreed that the delux looks better so I upgraded........thanks!! same thing happens with my other bike!!!! dont you hate when that happens!!!!

Just installed my Utopia back rest yesterday, took about an hour and half. But half of that time was spent with knife in hand getting up nerve enough to cut the seat.

I have installed these on numerous bikes and models and each install was easy with great results. I have not ordered one yet for my 2012 RT but I will. The tan looks very good.

My RT came with an Utopia backrest but I find it too high and too far forward to be comfortable for my 6' frame. maybe it's just me... but it's coming off soon.

Tons of adjustments forward and backward on that backrest. Make sure you've got it right before taking it off. You'll also have a hole in the upholstery to contend with after removing it.

Thanks everyone.
I have installed utopias on my Ventures before so not afraid to cut the seat
No Spyder yet but no problem as it snowed about 11/2 ft last night and could not ride it home anyway.
