Just passing this along. I have a Kawasaki drivers backrest on my Voyager. When I installed it I took the spring out of the hinge. Now I just flip it down to get on or off. My backrest for my 1500 was that way, much easier to get on and off now.:cheers:

Saccariker. Do you take the backrest off for the passenger to get on then replace it when the passenger is seated ?

I have the Kaw backrest on my Nomad. Very comfortable for me but leaves little room for the bride on the passenger seat. I have to take it off when she rides & don't understand why Kaw didn't make it easily removable, especially for what they charge for the thing. Gonna see a welder friend of mine to see about moding to make it removable like a grasshopper or a Mustang driver backrest. I wouldn't buy the Kaw again, I'd go aftermarket if your passenger is larger than a small child!

Rejay, I have the same backrest and can leave it on when the girlfriend gets on. She has no trouble at all.
