This Made in USA Utopia Backrest is the Original High Quality In Seat Style Backrest designed for and fits any year GL1800 Goldwing motorcycle, including the heated seat version and the 2012 GL1800. This is the new version of the backrest and is made with non-dimpled material.

Utopia is the Driver backrest that becomes a part of your seat. No bars in the way of drivers hips and legs or passengers legs. Folds forward to ease passenger getting On or Off and adds to safety by getting out of the way in sudden stops. Includes up and down height adjustment, as well as driver seating position, back and forth, to help driver sit upright to avoid slouching--a big factor in driver fatigue. Backrest pivots at top of bar as you lean against it so no uncomfortable edges dig into your back. Well padded, but only 1-1/2 thick which takes up less seating room than most other backrests. All Top Bars are finished in a Beautiful Black Powder Coat. Comes with handy pouch with strap to convert to shoulder bag. Fits all GL1800 Gold Wings.

This last weekend I installed a Utopia Backrest. The You Tube video really was a big help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3igm0NZSx8

The hardest part for me was cutting into the seat (emotionally). But otherwise the install is fairly straight forward. All in all it took me about an hour and I am no mechanic.

Afterwards I took it for an hour ride mostly on interstates and WOW. Now my bike really is a Barcalounger on wheels.

The biggest improvement for me is with the highway pegs. Now the pegs make sense. I found the greatest relief to be driving up a large hill.

I am glad that I spent the money and did this install.

Excellent quality. Much easier install than I was anticipating on my comfort navi 08 wing. Can't wait to take that next trip.

This is a staff pick, that's why I order it, Good quality of material with quality stitches, it as the same quality has the seat. Honestly, I think this is much better than the other who hands by the sides. Easy to instal it take a cold heat to pock a hole in the seat but with everything installed it does a really nice job. I would recommend this item.

I have a serious lower back problem, but with this backrest it really ease the pain a great deal. I really love this backrest. I had the Honda dealer install it. I just couldn't see myself cutting into my new seat. I purchased my bike two days before Thanksgiving. I haven't been on a long trip yet, but just riding this bike local with the backrest feels great.
