Better than I had hoped- you should buy this sucker!!
I have to admit I was worried about the back rest. this is better than I had hoped, Yes it does make you sit a little forward but if you can bend it just an half inch in a vise you will be happy. I an 6 foot 5 inches and my 2007 VTX is now the bike I always wanted. I was looking at Harley's but with with all their cam chain adjuster problems and now having them made in India I'm glad I bought a Honda.

Great Value!
I was looking for something that was going to add to my ride, and this backrest does just the trick. And, at about $85, it's an awesome deal. The quality appears good, and the fitment was decent. I did add a small washer, as the bolt holes are a bit large. I will also have to bend the unit back slightly, as mine leans forward just a bit - minor issues. The backrest was delivered in no time, decently packed, and far lighter than I expected. Overall, fit, finish, installation, and comfort are all very good and I'm very satisfied.

Top Shelf
The backrest fit my Honda VTX1300R perfectly and installed quick & easy as advertised. Matches the backrest on my Cobra sissy bar to a tee, looks like they were built together. Comfy, and the design allows for instant removal while the hardware doesn't show when backrest is removed. Quick delivery and trouble free. Glad I bought it.
