Thumbs down Utopia Rider Backrest

Anyone know anything about Utopia Rider backrests? They look pretty impressive on http://www.utpr.com/backrest.html. Price ain't bad either. I have a Road King Classic and the site says it's a simple bolt on. Anyone have any experience with installing one on an FLHRC?


Thanks,

Dave

PS. Ignore the thumbs down. That was an accident and it won't let me delete it. I ordered one and am really excited to try it out.

I had one on a '99 Royal Star Venture once. It was a good product. I still see that bike around town and the backrest still looks great. ( I sold it at 50k miles).

Put one on a GL1800 Goldwing but have the HD on the Ultra.
Good company and product. (why the thumbs down?)

Had one on my Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Absolutely loved it. If they'll sell me the lower bracket for the Street Glide, that puppy is coming off the Yamaha.

I'd be interested to hear your opinion!
Had one before in another bike and it was pretty decent.

Do you have to cut your seat to install the Utopia, or does it fit in the slot in the factory seat?

Dave, just send a PM to the forum adminstrator and ask him to delete the thumbs down.
