I am considering getting a Utopia back rest (pic attached). Is anyone familiar with it? Is it fairly easy to install?
Thanks

The hard part is getting past the part of plunging a long knife into your seat. Measure 2,3 time then measure again. In reality getting the seat off the bike IS the biggest part of the job.
You're a little over a 2 hour ride from a forum member who is selling a stock seat with a Utopia backrest installed. Perhaps he'll chime in......
Just a reminder; you are missing out on a ton of info in our deep and knowledgable "search" I just typed in what you were looking for in adv. search and there is a lot of hits...going way back (it's been discussed more than a few times) here's just one...

I've been happy with mine...the way it folds down for instance to throw a leg over and never has water ever penetrated where the bracket enters.
Hey there,
Installation was not too bad. Hard part was matching "finding the holes" after you insert the back rest. I got my mustang seat coming, if I like it better I will be selling my stock seat with or with out the back rest.
I feel the back rest pushing you forward, I've put the risers on and went 17 clicks on the rear shock. Still get numb butt/sore low back.
I have a Utopia driver's backrest and love it. The dealer installed mine, so I'd have to say it was easy... for me at least.
Yes I have the Utopia backrest fitted, like others it was fitted for me, but I love it

If your interested I have one for sale already installed. The Backrest is brand new I just decided to go a different route and bought a Corbin.

I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
I just ordered a Utopia backrest for my 2015 F6B Deluxe and a set of helibars to all of you that have the Utopia back rest how are you liking it it is snowing where I am now so I have a couple months to decide whether I want to cut the seat as I have never used the backrest and I'm unsure if I will like it
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.
