Has anyone installed an Utopia backrest on their OEM Interstate seat?  Im not exactly  thrilled with the idea of making cuts in my seat for the pure reason of messing it up.

       I was fortunate enough to fins an I/S seat in St. Louis with the back rest already installed shortly after I got Phatt Ghurl. Yes-A hole IS Needed to mount the Ultimate back rest. But I M H O=well worth the effort. RIDE SAFE.

I installed one on my stock Interstate  seat. I used masking tape to layout where I was cutting. I didn't screw it up and there is a plastic piece that covers all the cut edges.
