Check this out for 68 bucks its not that bad. I had to put it in a vise with some rags and none of the chrome peeled and there are very few scratches... not bad at all..this fit perfect on my back and it does not move a lot like firehousecustom backrest did for me. Hope this is helpful.

I cant answer that for you but there are very limited driver backrest that are out there that you can use with stock seats or with seats with no backrest... I am just saying that matazu driver back rest might not be perfect when you recieve it but you can make it fit you... I ordered firehousecustom and I did not like it ... I gave up and then I saw this one and for 68 bucks thought i will give it a shot and so far I am happy with the results... its just one additional choice thats all this is about choice..

Okay, as I earlier posted I installed my backrest last week. Well after doing the required adjustments to the bracket. The wife and I spent all day Sunday riding, as far as I'm concerned that was the best 68 bucks I've spent on my bike. I stayed comfortable in the saddle all day. Moves me a little forward on the seat but I'm on the cushy part so it's all good. I did remove the cushon bolts and loc tited them (just a precaution). The backrest does give some but I like that too. I stated before that you get what you pay for well after spending a couple hundred miles in the saddle with the backrest I have to say it's well worth the $68 it cost (just my opinion).
