Need advice on backrest

[Paul B Blues]

I have a Utopia installed for me, but I have been looking high and low for a decent passenger backrest, the Honda-line one is kind'a silly for me and my gal age group. So far, the only off the shelf option I can find is Corbin. I have also exchanged emails with Bob at Utopia, he is willing to have a look at fabricating a passenger backrest to match the Utopia driver backrest I have. I will have to send him my Honda-line passenger backrest for him to figure out what to do. No problem there. Hopefully someone can propose a third or fourth idea, but since the F6B is so new, there are not a lot of options on the market yet.

(maybe I'll figure out how to add a picture or two)

Hi Lawndee,

I have just received my Utopia backrest, it's more substantial than it looks in the picture. I don't have my bike yet, but I'll get it fitted when I do. Are you getting along with it OK? I had an Ultimate and backrest on my Rune, and as a disabled rider I found the backrest invaluable Keep us posted on how you get on with it please.

sorry for the delayed response. I'm back, it worked great!! we are doing some finishing touches on it and I will have some pictures of the finished product in a couple of days. we went with a different latch system, so that is the hold up right now. stay tuned....

I'm interested in the final piece. I like the adjustable different heights. When the Mrs isn't riding with me, you would be able to put it back to stock height.

yes, there are actually 5 different settings. when its at the bottom it actually sits about 1/8" taller then the stock setting.

Since I started this thread I thought I would tell everyone how I solved the issue. I went out and bought a Corbin saddle and the passenger back rest. Costly but it took care of the issue. Thanks for all the suggestions.
