Wonderful Backrest!

Just installed the Utopia backrest on my BMW Transcontinental. I love it! It only took about 1/2 hour to install. I broke it in on a 500-mile day trip and it added a whole new level of comfort to my ride.

Super easy to install, and it matches my R18 seat perfectly. Easily adjustable to the best riding position, or quickly adjustable if you want to change where it sits during a trip. Definitely worth it.

Excellent! Lower back relief.

This is a very well crafted piece. The backrest mounting bracket is thick gauge steel so it isn’t going to flex or bend. The leather is a match to my factory seat including the white stitching. I like the simple adjustability of this backrest. I knew that visually I wanted the “sport” pad which is the same width as the standard pad just not as tall; I just wasn’t sure if it was going to give me the desired amount of support. I am glad with my decision to go with the “sport” version. I haven’t even adjusted the pad to its highest position yet and it is more than adequate. I think I will try the higher position though and see if I like it any better. Very satisfied customer. I decided not to go with the quick release. If I want to take the backrest off it is simply one nut and bolt to remove.
