frmarksiegelhotmail.com Posted April 10, 2011 #1 Posted April 10, 2011 I'm thinking of buying a backrest for my 2007 RSV. After checking out the posts on backrests I noticed that most them are old posts, and there seems to be a lot of talk about how comfortable a particular backrest is compared to one's height. So, I would like to get some up to date opinions and some more info on the backrest vs my height (5' 8"). Thanks.
KeithR Posted April 10, 2011 #2 Posted April 10, 2011 I'm the same height....I have the Utopia and really like it. Its adjustable so you can adjust to suit you. Keith http://www.utpr.com http://www.diamondraccessories.com/indexpage.php
zooer Posted April 10, 2011 #3 Posted April 10, 2011 I like the diamond R. Very high quality and installs in ten minutes. Also is adjustable. Have not had one wear out but I'm only on the second one.
frmarksiegelhotmail.com Posted April 10, 2011 Author #4 Posted April 10, 2011 Was your Utopia hard to install?
JerryT Posted April 10, 2011 #5 Posted April 10, 2011 I also have the Utopia and like it. Can adjust to what ever position you want. Go to the website and you can look at the installation instructions. Just drill out 2 holes to larger size. Take their suggestion and lay something over the fender as the drill bit can hit the fender real easy when the bit goes through. Very easy install.
Phoneman1981 Posted April 10, 2011 #6 Posted April 10, 2011 Welcome to the site! I installed a Utopia on my 05 RSTD easy install. Really like it. No experience with the RSV. Take care...
SilvrT Posted April 10, 2011 #7 Posted April 10, 2011 Could someone post a pic or 3 of exactly where/how these backrests are mounted. I know it's under the seat but as the saying goes, a picture is worth 1000 words.... reason I ask is I'd like to build a cheap one to see if I will like a backrest before forking out over $200 for one.
KeithR Posted April 10, 2011 #8 Posted April 10, 2011 SilvrT just go to the Utopia site and search on Venture all the pics are there. Keith
