Utopia, Grasshopper, ?????
Mostly riding two-up.

I have the Grasshopper but I did have to modify it to keep from damaging the rear seat. Check this link for what I did:

It works OK for the price and sets me forward a little which helped me from my tail bone pain on long rides. I did a 10 hour day with no problems recently. I am only 5' 8" tall with an inseam of 30" so it worked great for me.

Check and see if Utopia makes one... www.utpr.Com may be the website...

I personally love my Utopia. I was freaked out about cutting my seat to install, but after 29K miles I'm elated. Very adjustable. I started with the OEM backrest. It pushed me towards the fuel tank even in the fully rearward position. My first $500 accessory mistake.

Utopia. All the way. The price was right, an oh so comfy!

Not sure how it could possibly harm the seat. I have had one on my Voyager for 3 years and have no damage.

Thanks highwayman2011, I was concerned that over time that the seat bracket would leave a permanent dent in the rear seat.
