Just got my wing 3 days ago... realize I want/need a backrest. So far I like the Wing Master Backrest the best because it has no curved bar spanning the curve of the seat. This one gets inserted into a hole in the seat... which I'd have to cut. I'm concerned about water eventually eroding the foam within the seat. And if I want to temporarily remove the seat I'll have this big ugly hole. I also wonder if it fill fold forward to make mounting/dismounting easier.
Anyone have this seat.. or similar type? Would you recommend it or going with the curved bar type.

A lot of folks like the Utopia backrest. Same design, you have to cut the seat and the foam.
Was just looking at it online. Wonder if the materiel is an exact match or just simlar?!?!

Mike a friend of mine has the Utopia for his 1800 & loves it. As far as water getting in there, if you're riding in rain the water gets in all kind of places you don't want it. Just my opinion.

I have the Kuryakyn over the seat rider backrest. I love it, very comfortable;however, if you have a co-rider this may be an issue. My wife's legs sometimes get bruised from them. They make a pad for this now, but overall we both like it.

my 1200 has the bar over backrest while the 1500 has a built in backrest. i like the bar over backrest because it has some play and feels like your in a rocking chair
