• 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.

What's With the New Backrest?

Is there any adjustment on it at all? I'm only 5'8" and I'm practically sitting on the glove box.

Has anyone gotten the BRP backrest to adjust?
 
Bummer..!!

but it was just not thought out well. Hopefully they or someone will come up with a mod for that....:gaah:
 
Seem like we have non-adjustable and non-compatible with the other seat (OEM/Comfort) going on. Not good for a $500 accessory IMO. :(

I just got home from the mc show in Cleveland and got to sit on one with the BRP backrest. It may just work for me although I'm large around the middle. Though not adjustable it appears that it can be tilted back a hair. The main bracket mounts to the frame under the seat and two rods from the backrest go through the seat and lock into the bracket. A couple of washers (used as spacers) placed under the front of the bracket MAY tilt the backrest back a little without damaging the seat. I may try doing that as long as the dealer allows me to return it if it's not comfortable.
 
​I'm not certain, but I think BRP has a backrest for their comfort seat.

They do, but it is different. The way I currently understand it--if someone puts the new backrest on the OEM seat and then decides they want to opt for the optional comfort seat--a separate part # backrest is required. You cannot use the same backrest for both seats. $500 for the optional seat and another $500 for the backrest that fits. Therein lies my complaint.
