Could someone recommend a drivers backrest for the Nomad please.I haven't bought anything for my scoot this year and a rest will fill the void. Mad no?

I got the Utopia backrest, I really liked the single uppost that doesnt get in the way of the passengers legs. It does require a little more work but I Like the look and the fit of it

www.grasshopperlimited.com is the address you want. I have one of his backrests, It has made my riding quite a bit more comfortable.

I use a grasshopper and it works great

bigdave · 01-25-2009, 10:52 PM

Grasshopper here too love it

Grasshopper or Utopia for the ultimate comfort. I have grasshopper's now and it works great. Ann's getting the Utopia for her 900 and I might like it enough to switch mine. I need something a little taller.

The Utopia is well worth the money. It's also adjustable where some of the others are not.

CWI also makes a nice backrest that has some adjustment to it. It folds down which may make it easier for a passenger to get on/off the bike. It is also one of the most expensive backrests you can buy.

Add another recomendation for the Utopia

ridemslow · 01-26-2009, 11:08 AM

Go with the BAKUP. Taller, cheaper than Utopia. Very comparable to Grasshopper's, but a bit mor pricy, like about $325.00. That's what I have, good piece of work.. ;)
