Have been wanting to add the Smart Mount Backrest to my bike since day one, but after I read a few posts of how some riders felt pushed up with it, I've been waiting until I could try one out on someone who already had one, so I could first see how it fit me.

Well, never did try one out first, so instead I bought the Seat and Backrest combo deal BobR had here on the forum, as it was a good deal and a great way to test it out....BobR btw, is a great guy....he personally drove it down to meet me halfway to make the deal....Thanks again Bob!

So without having to cut my seat etc...I just removed it and replaced it with the one from Bob, with backrest already mounted on it.

I am 6' 3" 280 lbs with 34 inseam, and a fairly long reach.

The Smart mount backrest is by far...The Best Mod I have done to the bike...Period! Wish I had put this on the day I bought the bike.

Just came back from a 40mi test ride and it was the most comfortable ride I've had on this bike.

For myself anyway, the backrest did not have that pushed forward feeling at all, and I ride pretty laid back... arms stretched out feet up on forward pegs.
