Default kuryakyn multi position backrest

I wanted to make uses aware the the kuryakyn multi position backrest is not safe for use. I have had two failures with the second resulting in my passenger falling of and getting injured.

Model: Multi-purpose Driver & Passenger Backrest
P/N: 1660 and 1664

I updated original post to include model and P/N.

The first unit was installed on the bike when I purchased. The second unit was a replacement from kuryakyn after the first failed.

They offered no support after the second failure.

So we all know, what exactly happened to them?

Pics would help too.
