For what it may be worth I purchased and installed a Smartmount Backrest. The deciding factor on which one to buy came down to looks, both are good backrests. The installation is similar and as mentioned in an earlier post the hardest part is sticking a knife into your unblemished seat.
Also for what it may be worth I like riding with the backrest very much.
Yes I just have to get past cutting seat and cutting in the right spot . If I don't like it. It will just give me a reason to buy a new seat next year lol . I chose this one because it had little bit more adjustability forward and maybe up . don't remember also bar was black. Though you cold paint the other one. Has bag on back to cover the bar. I think it is a little bigger. Though the other one matches passenger back rest. This one uses existing hole in seat pan so that could aid in helping lining up bottom seat bracket. Both are nice.
