Worth the Money - Motorcycles and Powersports

I've waited and waited with this purchase. Today I had a good ride and now I'm wondering why I waited so long. That's a great back.

Pros
  • Cool Product
Cons
  • Empty

Driving comfort ๐Ÿ‘ for body and frame parts

Comfortable, increases driving stability and makes long journeys more pleasant. Thanks to the adjustable backrest, the 2-seater can be easily mounted and dismounted. Installation took no more than 30 minutes, there were no problems with landing, I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • narrow

Make no mistake! - Motorbike & Powersports

If you are looking for comfort while riding, this is just perfect. The adjustable feature is a real plus. We also purchased Rivco adjustable passenger armrests for our Goldwing which are perfect for long rides. You can't go wrong with this!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Easy to install, fits spares

Installation was easy, it only took about 20 minutes. Looks good on a bike. 04/20/2020 - Updated the original review. Not with a passenger. There isn't much room for a passenger in the center mounting hole or rearmost bracket unless it is a child or small adult. Was 5 stars, now 4 stars because it's still a very good solo (drivers only).

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some small things

Not very adjustable or forgiving (spring)

Installation is very easy. I would rate the installation a 2, with 1 being the easiest installation and 5 being the most difficult installation. The three-position adjustable feature is fair at best. That's why I give it 3 out of 5 stars for comfort. I had to make my own adjustments to the seatback angle to make it more comfortable for ME. This can be very good for you. I have scoliosis and the curvature of my back makes finding the perfect back out of the box difficult so don't take my reviewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ease of installation. Back-friendly. Increased control of the bike while riding.

I thought it was "neat". I thought it would add extra comfort when driving long distances. I thought, dammit, if the racer has a back, shouldn't I (the pilot) have it too?! Well I installed it, adjusted the seat to my ride comfort (forward) after the first test drive and then rode it around on site for a while. I really enjoyed the experience, although I didn't get a chance to drive for a couple of hours to see if it would make a difference in long-distance comfort. This weekend I've had lowerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
