There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I had one installed on a comfort seat that was on my bike. I liked it, but the comfort seat was a little too hard for me. As stated above, it would have taken a bit of space from the passenger, but the wife didn't ride back then. I later came across a deal on an OEM backrest and went back to my stock seat. I picked up my big bike backrest used for around $100. If you are going to pay close to $200, I would check into the one from Utopia. It seems to be a little bigger.

I fitted the Big Bike Parts one, very pleased with it, can't work out how or why it has relieved my aching hips and I don't need to use my highway boards as much, I would recommend it to anyone. Also being short the top of the cushion just sits under my shoulder blades, so comfortable. like others say it does take a bit of room from the passenger space. I'm cosidering having the passenger backrest reduced if my partner complains, it is exceptionally thick

Has anyone installed the "Smart Mount Back Rest" from Big Bike Parts? If you have , how do you like it? I am having a real hard time justifying almost $500.00 for the Can-Am back rest. Big bike parts one is $199.00.opcorn:
I faced the same cost/benefit problem as you and, after examining the Can-Am backrest at a local dealer, decided to try the Big Bike Parts version. I've been riding with it for several months now and, after fiddling with adjustments for a while, I like the support it provides. And it isn't anywhere near as visually overpowering as the Can-Am version. The Can-Am version may be more comfortable but I've not been able to convince myself it's that many $$$ more comfortable. My two cents worth.
