. fusion) and was looking for a little more relaxation on the bike

I broke my back (L4-S1 Fusion) and was looking for something to better relax my bike. Installed this backrest kit yesterday in 15-20 minutes (help a 3 year old) so easy to install, instructions are VERY good and with pictures. The details are solid, the design feels well thought out, we like how you can flip the cushion to move it closer or farther from the seat. Haven't tried it yet, will update after a few rides. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Reliable choice: body and frame parts

reliable product. I installed it in about 20 minutes. The instructions weren't very good so I just looked at the pictures. The back is also fairly easy to remove when not in use. The bracket stays permanently under the seat. The cushion is comfortable. It comes with a small Velcro pocket on the back of the pillow. Can be used for your passenger to place small items such as a candy bar, toiletries/lipstick, etc. Although it barely fits on my Galaxy S6 phone. I would recommend putting your phone…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • some flaws

Works for me - Seat Mount

Received Earlier. Easy to install on my 2014 FLHTK; although I used stainless bolts, washers and locknuts in the 2 fender mounting holes instead of the ones supplied. Good range of back angle adjustment by removing 1 rear seat belt mounting bolt, 1 seat retaining bolt and adjusting 2) 11/16" nuts securing the neoprene shock absorbers. It took me 2 rides and adjustments to get the perfect lumbar support. There is a zipped pocket on the back of the pillow that I use for my sunglasses. I rated it…

Pros
  • Nice Appearance
Cons
  • Easy Serviceability

I underestimated the advantages of the backrest! highlighted.

Also looked at the HD brand and others. The HD brand is difficult to release as you have to put your fingers in the seat slot and press 2 buttons that release the seat. The backrest has a small spring-loaded pin that locks the seat in place. The pen is adjustable so you can set it as stiff/light as possible and shoot as you like. I give it a light tug and it slides straight out of the mount and the backing comes off. It also allows you to adjust its height. It took me about 20 minutes to…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Appearance

Just what my back needs for long trips

This back was just what I needed. I have ridden long (1500-2000) miles without a back in the past, thinking it was no big deal. I was wrong and just completed a 1500 mile trip after installing this backrest and how it affected my fatigue levels at the end of the day. I wanted a back that wouldn't break the bank (Harley!) and found it with this back. This backrest costs about $100-$150 less than the Harley counterpart, and it depends on what type of backrest cushion you get from Harley - you can

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Some nuance

Works well within its limitations (see full review)

This product is an affordable back that does the job adequately. So the bottom line is that it does its job effectively (offers back support and comfort), is more economical than most other products, but lacks some of the conveniences found in more expensive alternatives. In my opinion the biggest disadvantage of this product is that it has to be pulled out before the passenger gets on or off. Competitive Harley products that cost twice as much can be folded for this purpose. I don't see that…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
