If you're reading this, you are likely hesitant like I was to spend your hard earned money on a scooter seat accessory. I am here to tell you, it's totally worth it! I have had it for 2 weeks on my 2022 Suzuki Burgman 400, I have put 1,000 miles on this seat attachment already because it makes the bike so much more comfortable. Installation is a little scary because you have to cut 2 small holes through the seat, it took me all of 15 minutes to install this to my bike. After the scary drilling of my seat, I put the bolts through and tightened them down with no issue, hardware is nice and the plate comes pre threaded for simplicity. There are 2 adjustment points, one at the base of the seat (to help short riders like me 5'7") and one at where the seat and support post meet. The material of the seat matches the stock seat in appearance and the quality of the fabric/leather used feels nice. If you have a stock windshield you know wind likes to sneak past the side of the fairing and push your core back, this backrest relieves that pressure. I have put 300 miles on this backrest in 1 drive (with 1 fuel stop, sub 5 minutes) with no issues. The seat rest does not move on its own due to stress or vibrations, you have to intentionally move it by loosening the bolts adjusting the seat and tightening up the bolts again. Overall this is a 5/5 star product, the only issue I have is it makes the bike so comfortable I ignore my other scoot (2026 Honda ADV160).

Readers; Here are the Views of this Product from one who is 'wrench challenged' I bought this for my '08 Burgman 4oo. I was more than skittish of cutting and drilling the expensive seat; but in the end, I did get it on. The directions are very good. I would say, the seat can be left on the Burgman, in fact its easier with it in place. You can see where the parts go, and the seat does not move when you drill. In the end, it works very well, even with a riding coat with a back armor plate. BUY ONE for yourself and see.

Have installed other brands for friends. This is my fourth personal Utopia and is a very superior backrest. Won't buy any other!

I had my doubts, but came away from this experience by asking what many other reviewers have. Why did I wait so long? Easy to install, well designed and constructed product, and it is SOOOOO comfortable going down the road! Well worth the investment. Bob was very responsive when I emailed a question, and took his time to explain the answer. My order was confirmed promptly, and shipping was actually a bit earlier than promised. I'm ready for a couple long hauls this summer. Great product!
