Consensus on Grasshopper

jwg383 · 08-19-2011, 09:33 AM

I know this has been mentioned in several different threads, but what is everyone's thoughts on the Grasshopper backrests? Likes/dislikes and why? Thanks for everybody's input.

I put my grasshopper on almost 2 years ago and wont ride without it.Good value for the price and even though not adjustable it works for me.

I ordered another one 2 weeks ago and HAVEN'T GOT IT YET.

love it

I love mine, won't ride without it.

Pros: Easy on and easy off.
Cons: None

I like mine quite a bit, I have a female friend that has a slight handicap and loves to ride along, I remove it and she gets on my seat then slides herself back onto the passenger area, I put the backrest back on and we're ready. Besides being comfortable for me, the ease of taking off and on is a huge plus...I have no cons on the product at all.

- Grasshopper is GREAT to do business with.

I've had both the Grasshopper for the regular seat and Mustang. The fit, installed, is good for me.

The only issue I have is the metal bracket needs to made from heaver metal as it bends easily. :-/

Had mine for a couple of years now, love it, looks great, easy on and off and makes big difference in comfort.

Can't think of a con to the product, it's the best money I've spent on any add on for my Nomad.

Had mine since 08. One of the top mods I have made.

Well then I guess the wait is well worth it.
