advice on drivers backrest - nomad

[franber]

Hi all

new member from Australia - wondering if anyone has a view on brands of driver backrest, had one on my 800 but want to put on my 2006 nomad. There is limited choice (if any) down here so will have to get it from USA.

All views much appreciated!

franber,
Unless you're planning on buying a new seat, like a mustang, it's slim pickings as far as getting a good backrest for your stock seat. I looked and decided on the Utopia. I just bought it and will get it next week. I had a Utopia on my previous bike and liked it very much.

I opted for the Utopia as well; have put several thousand miles on since, and I love it! The only thing that might be better, is the Mustang seat/backrest combo, but I didn't want to shell out 700 bucks for the set. As long as you have a staple gun, the Utopia is easy to install, and adjustable up/down, and front/back. Hope this helps...

Dragon, where'd you get that trunk on your luggage rack?

Utopia........you can add a bag to the backside of the rest for storage.....kind of handy
