I put the Grasshopper backrest on my Nomad, and I love it. Don't know why the dam things don't come already on the bike. Getcha one. You won't regret it....

I couldn't live without mine. Grasshopper is the way to go.

I have a Grasshopper. First backrest I have ever ridden with...sure makes the ride more comfy. I haven't tried the Utopia or any others but I am sure they help also.

I have many jealous fellow riders that have comented on my backrest....especially when I tell them the price ....they can't get close to it through Honda, Harley, Yamaha or anyone else. They get p*ssed when I tell them he only makes them for the Nomad. Of course I tell them Grasshopper only wants his product associated with the best bike.

Utopia on mine, really nice and adjustable! For the money though grasshopper's sounds like a good buy!

Got mine (grasshopper) ordered a couple days ago, I can't wait to install it and hopefully find a day warm enough to ride and check it out. :)

nogiggy · 12-28-2008, 10:39 PM

just ordered one from grasshopper also, had one on the C-50 now the wife loves it since she now rides the C-50, cant wait to have it on the nomad. I sure have missed not having one

Finally got my backrest. I bought dkdixie's Utopia after he bought new seats including a backrest a few weeks ago. Finally got to get together with him today and pick it up.

I love it!

Well my backrest came today and it looks and feels good. It's too cold to ride now but I will do that test ASAP

Tank bra should be here anytime now

Wow you must have some long distance binoculars! I sure did sit on her a while that's for sure. If it were not for the ice I would have at least taken her around the block. ;)

I have the grasshopper also. great product makes long rides a lot more comfortable

pirate · 01-05-2009, 09:40 PM

I don't have one on my Nomad, although I had a Mustang one on my VTX. It was awesome! I definitely want a backrest of some sort for the Nomad.

nogiggy · 01-06-2009, 03:39 PM

receicved my backrest yesterday, and just like the one I had on the c-50, went on in 5 min or less looks great and feels great thanks

First backrest I've had on a bike. It does make a difference.
