Adjustable backrest gets 2 thumbs up from me
6'1" 265 or so.
Non adjustable backrest made me feel like I was sitting on the tank.
Adjustable backrest lets me sit where I want, just like its not even on there, except it supports my back on the long haul.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers!

I love mine also. Very high up on the must have list. I adjust it while riding when changing positions. Let it move a little forward when I am sitting straight upright, and full back when I have my feet up on the foreword pegs cruising.

By the way, are you aware that it is height adjustable? Makes a big difference also. You can put it low down to support your lower back and high up also.

There's a button you push on the back of the backrest below the pad. Push it in and pull up or push down. It has several positions that it will lock into. The lowest one will actually push down the back of the riders seat.

Just put one on my RG and it's the best $$ spent so far in my book.

RE: Adjustable backrest gets 2 thumbs up from me
The riders backrest is the way to go! I have the non-adjustable one, but then I haven't had much need to move it around, comfortable all day long! I just move my feet around occasionally (from the floorboards to highway pegs on my engine guard) and I'm set!
