+1
It is easy to install, adjustable and matches my bike. I wouldn't go without one.

I have the BRP one and it's great, but Way to much money.

Which one do YOU like the best???
I have the BRP backrest, and we fitted it with the new adjustable bracketry at last year's SpyderFest.
(Brent... Thanks a MILLION! :clap
It looks great, feels great, locks onto the bike... stealing it would be pretty tough! :thumbup:

...and yes: it's about double the price of the Utopia... :yikes:

So what is more important to you? :dontknow:

Utopia here. easy install and fully adjustable for a fraction of the BRP plus adjustable bracket.

Hi Bob, I Have The Brp One With Fixed Angle.can I Retro Fit The adjustable Bracket.
One thing ive found with rest is when im on rough road it kind off kicks you in the back as the bike rocks back and forth.i find myself moving off the rest a fair bit.our aussie roads are crap.

You can definitely add the adjustability to your current seat. I was quite happy with the addition and I believe it was a $79 option from dealer. Install isn't too bad, three hands are helpful. Along with a paper clip to use to unzip the factory seat.

:agree: When i said that "we fitted it..."; I should have said that "Brent fitted it..."
And he did it right at the best Western Carriage House, with a bunch of us sitting around making sure that the Barley Pops didn't get warm... :cheers:

[irvin48]

if you go utopia, ask about the 1" setback bracket. it made mine much better.
it doesnt shove you forward in the seat

 

[Brentc]

This is a BRP part

There are two parts depending on the current seat you have.

Utopia! Color matched. Top quality. Back rest adjusts it's angle to your back, instead of visa versa like the BRP. Great people!!

Utopia! Color matched (by RDL) before going to the RDL seat it matched the stock seat. Agree the Utopia works great.

One thing to consider: They are BOTH great additions to your bike! :thumbup:
It comes down to your personal tastes, the available features, and your pocketbook!
