Very comfortable in sissy bars

Backrest assembly was easier than expected. Watch the installation video and take your time. Sometimes I found the directions vague. Happy with this back would be again.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Great price

Basically simple installation

The back came on time. Probably the hardest part of the installation was cutting the foam, but after a little work it worked. I think this is a good buy and I recommend it.

Pros
  • Everything super!
Cons
  • Functionality

Looks great and feels good!

Good quality, design and material sample match factory seats. Looks like it's factory finished. It was a bit difficult to get the vertical support through the seat. Next to. pretty easy to install. You can't beat the price!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Boring Package

Pros
  • Very effective
Cons
  • Very expensive

The quality of this product is very good - really excellent

The quality of this product is very good - really excellent. I can't remember exactly how long it took to install, but it wasn't too difficult. The hardest part was cutting the foam and clearing a way to thread a metal brace through it and bolt it to another metal brace under the seat. I couldn't think of an easy way to clear the path of the cut styrofoam pieces, so I just moved a serrated bread knife back and forth until it was crispy enough to move the clamp. Part of the problem was that I…

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Negative impression
