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.

:agree: ... I've had them on numerous touring / cruiser bikes & Spyders, and imho they are the best .... multi-adjustable, thin, can adjust lumbar for support, well made etc. and less axpensive than BRP's ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

I will give a thumbs up on the BRP backrest as long as you get the correct one for your seat.
I bought mine from a For Sale post here on the site and see them come up fairly often. In fact, there is a post right now for seat and both backrests:

Utopia!I'm new to Spyders but my 2018RT came with the BRP backrest. I put it on to try and took it back off right away. The aftermarket ones stay down for when you swing your leg over to get on or off. The BRP is spring loaded and you have hold it down or swing you leg really high to clear it.
I went with a BRP backrest. My significant other is of short stature, 5'0", and her legs fit under the cutouts on the bottom of the BRP backrest. Otherwise, she would have to splay her legs to an uncomfortable position with some of the other backrests. I think a taller passenger wouldn't have the same problem my S.O. does.
Bunson is correct in that the BRP backrest is spring loaded, but I just use my knee to push the backrest down as I swing my leg over. It's second nature now.

:agree: Several people have said good things about the BRP and others talk about the Utopia backrest.
I went with the BRP Backrest. It looks good and does the job.......:thumbup:
