As most of you know a drivers backrest for the Stock Vaquero seat has only 1 real option = "Grasshopper". There is a new one that just started shipping this week from a Guy in Canada. Joe Stapleton he is on FB Vaquero pages promoting this. It is 245.00 USD Shipped. Seems stronger than the Grasshopper ( after reading the reports on the grasshopper and how it easily bends)
He has done a nice job with videos and instructions. Appears to be a quality upgraded product.

I have one on order, should be here by Friday.

Hey mbarr10. I saw this on the posting of the group's buy and sell. Did the video work alright. Mine stopped playing around the 40 second mark. Still had voice but video froze up.

I weigh 200lbs and have rocked the Grasshopper for 16k miles, who's bending these things???

Hey Mbarr10, did you ever get your backrest? Saw this and am curious about your impressions.

The backrest is nice, Very sturdy, very padded and stays in place. takes a good pull to get it out. I found the adjustment screw it came with was too long, so I bought a shorter one.
