Worked well. A little daunting. Needed to pick up an electric staple gun or I couldn’t have done it. But works well.
Backrest fit my bike perfectly and the white stitching matched the bikes original seat. Just what my lower back needed for those long rides.
The product fit exactly as described. The overall quality is excellent and it arrived quickly.
I would like to have had a paper template for marking the spots to drill my seat bracket. I would have gladly paid an exchange fee to swap my bracket for a predrilled unit.
I absolutely love my utopia sport backrest for my star venture real clear, easy installation, instructions and great product
My wife was afraid her rain gear was going to get ripped when she slid over the exposed bolts. The cover totally eliminated the issue. Smooth on and smooth off. She’s a happy camper.
Super supportive. Sturdy. Easy to install. Nothing not to love.
The backrest looks wonderful match the back seat perfectly and was not very hard at all to install a little tedious but not hard my customer will be very pleased as I am
Well made cover. Fits perfectly. No part of the bar showing. I think it should be included in the purchase of the backrest, just up the price a few more bucks. It's hard to see the cover but it's there.
Excellent quality. Fair price. Outstanding service. Bought the 719 version with the pleated option. Matched the seat perfectly. Easy install.
Exactly what I was looking for! I feel like I’m gliding down the road in my easy chair. Installation took about 29 minutes. No seat removal nor seat cover removal required. Just make a small cut in the seat, slide the bracket in and under the foam, drill two holes with their template, and screw it together. It adjusts up and down and to different angles to match your back. A definite game changer and worth the money!
This is my third Utopia, Goldwing & two different can am Spyders.
Have tried other Backrest's before & Always come back to Utopia.
Tried the Indian & Mustang backrest both had Excessive pressure points, Install Utopia on my Indian Pursuit & Again it's Perfection! & the Diamond design & Stitching are a Perfect match, Thank you Utopia.
I received my new sport backrest. The packaging was very good. Heavy duty packing material. Everything was in the box. The instructions were complete and easy to follow. The backrest looks great on my bike, and feels even better.
Installing was easy, very comfortable back rest. The only reason I’m giving 4/5 stars is the metal bracket isn’t very sturdy there’s a lot of flex. Very pleased with this upgrade and would recommend to anyone with a helix.
The installation instructions are a little confusing but I got it done and it looks great !!!
I absolutely love this backrest for my Spyder RT. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for one. It matches the seat perfectly down to the stitching. It’s extremely comfortable and very easy to install too.
Bought the removable backrest, disappointed that it has a slight wiggle side to side, don’t like that. Not a firm fit. Can anything be done to fix that?
Don,
I am sorry to read that you are experiencing a slight wiggle with our backrest. I have been here four years and I have not heard this concern before; I have heard a couple of concerns with customers having difficulty removing (or unplugging) the backrest. It is important to keep the socket lubed. We tried to make our tolerance for the socket as tight as possible, yet still be easy to remove. Actually when we get our brackets back from the powder coater, just a little bit of sandblasting dust can cause the bar to bind. If you would like, we can exchange the mounting bracket for the standard version and refund you the difference. Thanks so much for your business!

My Goldwing is my 6th, and likely final bike. I've never had a backrest on any bikes before.
When I ordered, I mistakenly ordered with black stitching. An email to customer service was quickly responded to and they changed the order to orange stitching to match the seat. Quick delivery. The backrest looks great. Easy install. Has taken a lot of adjustments to find the sweet spot, but adjusting is really easy. Great product and customer service.
Quality product, easy to install. Instructions could use a little bit better details. In the end turned out looking and feeling good.
All I can say is wow! I have GL1500 Goldwing that I adore. I did not want to lose the very comfortable stock seat. However, I did want to install a backrest. Andy was spectacular from the jump. This is a top tier product at a more than fair price. The quality control and customer service exceeded even my highest expectations. Thank you Andy. I will be ordering one for my VTX very soon.
