Review Grasshopper Driver's Backrest

**coacha** · 01-12-2008, 06:39 PM

Looks great! I want one for my 1500 but I guess I'll have to wait for the prototype to get done and order one.

Its always a plus when you get something that works well and looks good to boot. Considering the money we spend on a lot of doodads that really have no purpose other than cosmetic (which is very important) its seems like a great value for the comfort it provides. Now you should be able to go on longer rides more often.

This backrest is absolutely the biggest bang for the buck. It's like sitting in a Lazyboy when paired with pegs and pullbacks.
