Works great on local and longrides
Exactly as described, incredibly comfortable. Super quick and easy installation, and some of the best customer service I’ve received.
10/10 would recommend.
This is absolutely the best back rest around. Fully adjustable very comfortable. This is my second one. The first one was for a 2010 GL1800 and my second is for a 2025 GL1800. These back rests are hands down the best on the market.
Just purchased another great backrest from Utopia, this is the third one I've purchased! Very happy with the construction and fit of these backrests, they save my lower back on long trips!
VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL !! Talked to Owner Directly and Helped Through Purchase Process!
The transformation this backrest makes is unreal. I was just about to sell my bike and tried this
I highly recommend this backrest. It has enabled me to stay in the saddle for much longer rides.
Customer service has been fantastic! I broke a bolt off in the bracket while installing and they shipped me a new bracket and bolt and return shipping on the old bracket so they could determine if there was an issue they could address.
If I get another bike I will be buying another backrest from them if they make them for that bike.
Had one on my 2006 Wing, one I modified to fit a Super Tenere, and just put one on my 2016 Wing. Major back saver.
I'm always pleased with the design and fit of Utopia backrests. This latest one for my 2020 Yamaha Star Venture fit perfect. The detailed directions were spot on and now I'm cruising without back pain.
As a dealer we have had nothing short of exemplary service from this company. They deliver high quality products shipped quickly. Highly recommend
Installed on my 2018 BMW K1600B and it only took around 90 minutes start to finish, you will need an air stapler though.
It looks great on the bike. In my opinion the factory backrest doesn't look this good. It took a couple of rides to get it adjusted just right, but that was to be expected.
Had one on my 91 Venture Royale and LOVED IT! Had to have it on my 2018 Star Venture Transcontinental. Takes all the stress off my back & arms and allows me to relax and enjoy the ride whether it’s 1 hour or 10! Also, Andy’s service is top notch!
Hi All,
I give this Back Rest 5*****'s
As shown in the title I have a serious Spinal Issue and riding my bike was agonisong after 30 minutes.
I "downgraded" to a Burgman for its 'StepThru' properties.
The Suziki Back Rest did nothing to help.
I purchased this seat back rest and it only took 4 days to arrive from America to the UK, but be aware that you'll get stung for 'import' Taxes at Customs. My bill was £77.00 extra and that'll change depending on what mood Trump is in .
I adjusted the Back Rest for what I call 'MotorWay Mode'
Feet up and able to push my lower back into the seat gaining incredible support which relaxes my upper back and the pain levels by a huge margin.
The Back Rest itself took 10/15 minutes to install. Getting the bloody seat off took an Hour by that's a me issue not down to Utopia.
The seat is seriously comfortable and now and i'm up to just under 3 Hours of riding before the pain becomes intolerable.
If you have back pain, I can not sate how much this back rest helps and the differnce it makes is HUGE.
Expensive after shipping and Taxes costs but worth every single Penny of it.
Enjoy, ChrisP, UK
Great Experience, these guys answered my calls and walked me through the exact product for my bike. It arrived quickly and was exactly as described. It went on easy and is exactly what my back needed. I definitely recommend this product and this company. Thanks guys!
This is a very nice, well-made backrest. There was no online choice for the K1600B seat with the upgraded 719 seat, diamond pattern, so I sent a note to Utopia. Andy replied quickly and said they could do it so I ordered it. It is a perfect match with a clean installation. The install is a little challenging because of the upholstery and I highly recommend using an electric stapler with lots of patience. The installation instructions could be a little clearer and is the only reason for 4 star vs. 5 star. Excellent product!
Fit and finish matches the bikes, Upolstery, which really impressed me, easy to install in under a half an hour,
I could probably do the next one in 15 minutes.
Used Utopia before, always fast service and great quality.
