Default Utopia Backrest
Think about getting a Utopia Backrest for my 2006 Road King Classic. Looks kind of big, but the adaptability of it intrigues me. Anybody have any input on a 2008 and under touring bike. Also, has anyone used the Quick Out option?

Thanks,

Ed

Had one on a Kaw Nomad and liked it. I like the shape and support more than the Mustang backrests I have had also. Didn't have the quick out option. It does fold forward easily for passenger ease.

Have one on my 2008 FLHP, love it. One of a very few that make backrest for police seat. One thing I really like is it flips forward, makes getting on bike real easy. At 300# that is a good thing!
