Just ordered myself a grasshopper limited back rest. wasn't sure if anyone here had them or not. ive looked around but couldn't find anything. will defiantly post pictures and a review of it when I get it on Wednesday next week!
I put one on my Deluxe recently and like it a lot. I don't have any issue with it bending or flexing to my weight. It's no better or worse than the HD backrest I have on my Limited. You won't be able to recline on it like a Lazy-Boy but it should support you well in a normal riding position.
I have one on my mine, it does move you forward just a bit and it does help. I have pushed back pretty hard when riding and wanting to adjust position and have not had any issues with bending the metal.
