Driver Back Rest - Page 2

I've got on on the Nomad and love it. The 2K is still a blank slate. I'm debating on a Mustang or a Grasshoper for the new scoot. I hate decisions.

Ditto....I can't begin to explain the difference in comfort. It's like leaning back into your favorite lounge chair before setting off on a long days ride. No more muscle fatigue...just total back support. I won't have another bike without it....ever... ;)

Added backrest when I ordered my Mustang seat. Can't believe how much it made longer rides. Best investment I have made for both me and the Noman. :)

Utopia when doubled up and Mustang when solo

Go first class - It's well worth it

You're right about the Utopia. It's first class.

Got one from Grasshopper and it is the real deal. Love it. I can't imagine doing any long rides without one.

dougster · 12-22-2008, 06:34 PM

I don't have one yet, but expect to get one for next spring.

rickyboy · 12-23-2008, 06:58 AM

I haven't got one yet, but should get one before Custer, especially with the history I have with a "bad back".

caddman11 · 12-23-2008, 11:36 AM

Got the old Grasshopper and couldn't be happier.

**taranis** · 12-24-2008, 10:07 AM

This is the first bike I've owned where I put one on, and if Grasshopper didn't make them, I probably still wouldn't have one. Hard to argue that price though. Later on, I might upgrade to a Utopia BR, but every time I sit on the bike with the GH I think, "No, this is fine..".

Decisions, decisions... :)

novijoe · 12-24-2008, 10:40 AM

Don't use one but I need one. They are comfortable

rlfaubion · 12-24-2008, 04:02 PM

They've helped the wife and I with our posture...
