i also will go with the Utopia if it uses the original Hole in the seat.

Joe, email him and ask. I know he was looking for another seat to engineer to use the existing slot rather than having to cut the seat behind the slot like mine. For me tho, it worked out great as it gave me a bit more butt bumper which provides better lumbar support for my particular issue.

I just got an email from Bob (Utopia). His new bracket uses the existing hole and you don't have to remove the seat to do the install. It uses the existing four nuts in the bottom of the pan. He sent me some pics and it looks real good. Very, very happy with the purchase. Can't wait for it to arrive. So order up, ladies and gentlemen. The longer you wait to order, the longer you wait for the backrest.

I have a Utopia backrest that I got from a guy on here. I had it installed by a upolstery shop because I did not want to cut the seat myself. Cost me $40 bucks for that.
I took it off today because around town I sometimes ride 2-up and it does not leave enough room for some passengers. I am going to go look for some sort of quick
release bolt thingy for it. When I go on trips I will put it back on.

Utopia has quick-out bracket as an option. The install is pretty easy. The hardest part is getting the bolts aligned with the bracket holes with the seat on.

Just ordered ours last night, should ship on March 17th.
I called them yesterday and spoke with then regarding purchasing just the backrest pad (don't need mounting hardware as I already purchased an Ultimate TallBoy seat for my 2014 RTS but I don't really like their backrest, BUT, Ultimate does sell a mounting kit for the Utopia backrest to fit on their seat so..... )
now I just need to hear back from Utopia about the cost of purchasing just the pad.....
it is what it is - 2014 Black RT-S - Baja Ron Anti-Sway bar, lots of LEDs, Spyderpops Skid Plate, Twisted Sister HID Driving Lights, Tricled 2nd, 3rd & 4th brake lights, F4 Customs vented windshield, Lamonster highway pegs, Ultimate Tall Boy seat, Utopia backrest
I got a return call from Utopia and they have agreed to sell me just the backrest (without all the hardware that I don't need since Ultimate Seats has a bracket to allow the installation of the Utopia backrest)
my Ultimate Tall Boy 2 tone seat and the Utopia backrest
a heavenly ride is coming

so I traded back in my Ultimate back rest, bought the adapter from Ultimate, and then called Utopia and pleaded with them to sell me just the pad, not mounting hardware and they (Utopia) were kind enough to sell me just the pad

Actually I found out that if you already have the ultimate backrest you can just unmount the adapter and put onto utopia.
well.... that just might open up a new sales option for Utopia/Bob....
