Smart Mount - I wouldn't buy it again
I'm planning to install a backrest. I was thinking I'd go with the Smart Mount because it costs less and looks better. But, if the Utopia is better, I can get over the looks. There are very few reviews out there. What do you have and do you like it? Are there any other options for use with the stock seat? Also, pics would be much appreciated. Thanks!

blue 2015 F6B Deluxe - sold
2022 Yamaha Ténéré 700 - coming soon
My brother has had one for several years. I was so impressed with it I put one on my F6B and my wife's Shadow. We all love them, super comfortable.
Best of all, great people to work with.
+1 on the Utopia. My old one has been reincarnated and is now serving its second life as the passenger backrest on the F6B.
I've got the Utopia...I like it, but it does sit a little high on my back and I've already cut the post down a bit...was gonna try and figure out a way to move it down some more this afternoon!
I had a Utopia on my GL1800 and liked it. On my F6B I went with the Smart Mount because it matches the OEM passenger backrest better. After putting a few hundred miles on the Smart Mount, I have absolutely no complaints.
How do you keep water from soaking into the seat padding with either one of them?
I know they have cover things,but it would be impossible to be water tight I would think.
