Had a Utopia on my Valk before I switched to a 4 pc Mustang. If you're going to ride the factory seat, the Utopia is the way to go! Comfortable, adjustable, and my lady misses the Utopia pouch for her "stuff", the Mustang doesn't have it. Definitely a great product, and well worth the money.

Does anyone know if the Utopia back rest will work with the 2000 and up stock seat....or with a Mustang seat (I've got and use both).

My Valk was bone stock when I bought it a couple of years ago, except for the Utopia backrest. It will probably be the last of the add ons remaining in the end . It does work with the King Big Boy, I have no knowledge of the Big Boy.  |

Received the back rest 2 days ago , took 20 minutes to install.
Nicely made , good quality .
Now , my problem is , I sit more forward because of the BR pushing me that way , if I adjust it back , can't reach the grips very good and beingthat I do sit more forward I sit closer to the tank where the seat is not so comfortable .
Maybe I need risers to bring the bars back to me .
It has changed my riding position , anyone else had this problem ??

You should be able to adjust it to where you were sitting before it was installed. You state it either puts you too far forward or too far back. What's wrong with in between. Am I missing something.  |

+1 with Misunderstood. There should be a middle ground. Risers, I have HD Deuce, are good for me.

Difficult to relate .
Before , my butt would be all the way back in the drivers seat , lean forward to grips , okay , now if I adjust the BR so my butt is all the way back then I need to sit up a little to use it , then I can no longer reach the grips in a good way .
Adding the back rest adds a new equation , a third equation to this .
Before , I believe the drivers seat lip , where my butt slides back to is to far back .
Got a better picture ?

I get it. To lean against the backrest you have to sit up or back more than you normally would. You either need pullback risers to let you lean back, or you could try to sandwich a homemade spacer between the two plates (where the three bolts are for adjusting height) to push the backrest forward a bit.
