Is there a clamp-on Driver Backrest for 2012 RT SE5?

[Debon8tor]

Hey everyone - New to riding and new to this forum - I need some help ! The seat on my RT does not have the place to install a driver backrest. The seat is solid. I don't want to start cutting holes to install one. Does anyone know of a good aftermarket driver backrest that clamps on?

I appreciate any feedback !

Thanks

Ride Safe !

A long time ago I had a 1200 Gold Wing that had a driver backrest that attached to the siderails alongside the seat. I have not seen anything like that for any Spyder seats. Why are you concerned about having a hole in the seat, that's how BRP mounts theirs. 99 of 100 (or more) owners sell their Spyders with the backrest, if they had one put on... Mike hyea:

I have a 2012 RTS and I bought an aftermarket back rest just a cheaper than most and it had really good instructions on putting it on. It came out looking great. And it works. I can lean on it and every thing. The wife likes the pocket on back for her phone.

I also have a 2012 RTL and installed a Utopia backrest. Its a little scary at first cutting a hole in the seat but if you go by the instructions it works out great. I do not think there is any seat available any other way.
