I have a utopia on my metric, very comfortable. I have the Harley adjustable on my Streetglide, not so comfy

I love the Harley adjustable backrest. It has a little lever underneath the clutch side heat shield that allows you to move it forward and back to suit your mood. I've had it on two Ultras and wouldn't do without it. Also if you want to ride without it for some reason you just push a button and it pops right out.

This is the mount I have:
Adjustable Rider Backrest Mounting Kit

You can then use your choice of backrest (this looks like the one I have):
Comfort Stitch Adjustable Rider Backrest Kit

I had one on a Gold Wing. They've been around quite a while and make good stuff.

I've had several friends with GoldWings use them. They liked them.
