One of the best investments for long weekend rides I've ever made, spend the time and get it in the right position and you'll love it!!! Only remove mine when taking the seat off.

I run a Utopia backrest on my Cop King, and a Corbin on my FLHTK. Any backrest is a huge improvement for comfort, IMO.

I'm not surprised that the response to a rider backrest is pretty much 100% positive. A motor officer told me I would be thanking him for suggesting it if and when I get one.

I still need to get a seat I can live with. The wife doesn't mind the back of the Ultra seat I bought but I don't like the front of it. Then a back rest.

I have the adjustable rider backrest. It is great for those long rides.
