Only wish the quick release mechanism had a spring rocker to release and slide out instead of a screw that was buried inside the seek cushion. I would think a spring rocker like switch with a pin that locked into place would be more feasible than trying to fight the cushion to unscrew a set screw to release it.
Rick, Sorry I did not see this review earlier. I appreciate your comments. However, I think we did not make it clear that the backrest simply 'unplugs,' a rider is able to just pull the backrest out. It unsnaps like a socket from a ratchet. That set screw you referred to is a spring-ball plunger (it's what you hear click, when the backrest is taken in and out). You do not need to access or change that set screw at any point.

Great backrest. Easy to install. I got the smaller backrest - it looks better on my bike in my opinion. I also got the quick disconnect so I can easily pull it out when I do shorter rides
After searching around for a proper backrest I was sold on the Utopia for a number of reasons. The design, apparent quality, construction, and confidence in the company are all part of why I chose Utopia. Glad I did! I have ridden motorcycles for more 50 yrs and this is my first riders backrest. Thank you Utopia for making my rides way more comfortable and fun! I rarely write reviews but feel in this case its well deserved. Cheers Paul
Wanted to give it five stars as it is a great piece but there was some assembly issues (rectified by Utopia) and some components were not assembled to their spec.
Is a game changer though! Extremely comfortable!
Looks fantastic! Like it is original. Fits bike very well.
