Anyone install a backrest on their bike? I have the deluxe model and would like to put one on for me. I have Utopia on my GL-1800. There are Utopia's and Show Chrome brands available. Don't know of any others. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim

Utopia are available as well as many other options with aftermarket seats. A lot of us have rider back rests.
The dealer installed a Utopia driver's backrest on mine. I'm happy with it.
I have about 4k miles with my Utopia Backrest and really like it a lot. Only problem is I get lazy in the twisties and don't like to get my lazy butt forward.

I had a Utopia back rest on my Valkyrie, loved it. On my F6B I will be buying a back rest. I know the Utopia is good but I like the looks of Big Bikes better. So does the Big Bikes B.R. work as well?
Hello,
Is the Utopia able to support a 280 pounds rider?
Thanks in advance.
I had the Utopia backrest installed and have been very happy with it. It took a while to get adjusted to the exact spot I wanted, but now it feels very comfortable and will make long trips much more enjoyable.
