Anyone have one? I am looking for support to force me to sit with better posture. How do you like it? Is it adjustable? Thanks, Mark

I have one; I can't ride very far without one since I had back surgery a few years ago. It is somewhat adjustable, back and forward a couple of inches at most. I found a sweet spot on my second ride though and haven't moved it since. I love it!

The Valk had the back rest on it when she became mine. Do like it. change the adjustment from time to time.

I have the old style Ultimate with the square peg & love it, Anything trip 150 miles and the back rest goes on.

One of the best additions I've made to my valk. Cruise control, and highway pegs are next.

Backrest is indispensable to me - - I won't leave home without it. Three back surgeries give me no choice.

Prior to my Ultimate, I had a Mustang seat and backrest. The Mustang backrest slid right in to the Ultimate and works perfectly.  Wouldn't be without it. Also have Barrys (Big Bike Things)forward controls to switch out positions on, it works great to make the Fat Lady a great cruiser! Bill |

I have the Ultimate and I too could not ride like I do without one. I have back problems and the backrest gives the much needed support to put in several 8-10 hour days in the saddle.

Have one for the Kingboy. I like it, BUT, it is more like a back support than a backrest. I wouldn't lean back with all my weight (I'm 235lbs). The Kingboy backrest mounts to the two holes that the front of the passenger seat mounts two. I'm thinking, enough weight will bend those mounting tabs.

My I/S was a comphy ride to start with, but after adding hi-way pegs and a Utopia backrest shes like a big ol' Lazyboy on the road. I never would have made it to Toronto in four days last summer without it.

I found the (flat bar mount) mustang backrest superior for fit to my body than the Ultimate backrest, and use the Mustang backrest on my ultimate lowboy too.
