Never thought I needed or wanted one until I got one. Now I rarely leave home without it.

If I was allowed only 1 mod it would be a backrest.

FYI

My Utopia sits lower than the HD one, which I like more, it has the quick slide out option, & has a 1/2 further back option that I like & need also ...

fits the HD seat same as the HD one

can be adjusted on the ride with a set screw I can reach while driving ... thou not as convenient as the HD one with a lever adjustment ...

I like mine ALOT !

Worth every penny, I bought the solo harley seat for my roadglide and the backrest is great. I only use it on long trips and around town leave it at home so it does not get stolen. I can ride all day with that thing, so comfortable.

Would you mind telling me which Backrest you have? It appears as though we have identical bikes and yours looks great!
