No, like I said I was looking at the firehouse customs, heard good things about them. With the price of the mutazu so low I figured I would give it a try, hopefully no problem with the fit.

I got the backrest but I think its not good at all... attaching the pic not the greatest pic since its from my phone but you would get the idea of what I am saying... there is a 30 degree tilt forward from where it needs to be. I am sure all the others that ordered are going to have the same problem.. the height and stuff is great much more stronger sheet metal than firehousecustom backrest very good quality of material but fit is not there ... I am going to call matazu and see what they have to say ..

its tilted the wrong way.. its not setting me forward ... its digging into my back...I am 5'4" and I have this problem.. its going to upset ur riding position exponentially the taller you are. I just called and emailed customer service lets see what they say.. quality wise far heavy gauge sheet metal than firehousecustom..I got it for my bday and had to return it...

Lets see the pic! I'd love to see a pic without the pillion.

See the pic closely guys there is no pillion on this.. I am using the backrest on a solo seat. I am thinking that if I can find a rubber wedge I can install between the seat mounting post and the backrest I might be able to tilt the backrest to a more comfortable position. I might have to change to longer bolts to which the driver seat attaches... let me see what I can find at a local hardware store... I like this backrest I will have to work it to have it work for me...
