What do you guys think? Not a lot of options out there for backrests, especially for the driver let alone for a decent price. Found this aftermarket goldwing backrest with hefty rack that attaches so I was like I gotta be able to make this fit! Couple measurements and a 3D printer and heres what I got. Not mad at it. Lol

It's good you didn't have to cut a hole in the seat like the Utopia backrest. And I guess you aren't worried about removing the seat quickly.

Yeah that utopia one is a little sketch. And yeah Theres nothing under my seat so not worried about it at all. And if so a couple screws and the whole thing lifts off

Would you be interested in making duplicates and selling them? I don't have a 3D printer but would love a solo backrest.

Thanks,
Ed

I have the Utopia and it's okay. Height and angle adjustable. But it's one of those things where you really can't go back to no backrest with a hole to cover up. I asked them if I could add the quick disconnect feature later. They said yes, but no one seems to remove it. They were right, I have no intention or reason to really take it off.

Hey Ed... I would definitely love to make you a pair. Let me do some more testing on these to make sure they hold up to the elements and what not.
Thank you, please keep me updated and let me know if you need anything from me.
