Fits My 2005 1300R like a glove
It shipped really fast and went on my 2005 1300r really quickly. Really nice quality backrest for a good price. Looks like it came with the bike. On and off in a flash. No exposed hardware. Matches the vinyl on my seat. Was able to "bend ( by pushing against it while attached to bike ) for comfotable fit. By no means is this product flimsy. When I say bend I do not mean it gave very easily. Don't want to mislead anyone. It fits over the top of my passenger seat with out creating a depression on the seat.Feels real good on my back. Very happy with it. Feels like something is cradling my spine. Also I like the way it makes me feel secure in my seat. Like sitting in a chair. Great value and price.

Great backrest!
Received my backrest very fast. The backrest was very easy to install and it looks like it came with the bike!! Haven't actually rode the bike yet since its been rainy and cold but it feels like it should work great while sitting on the bike in the garage!!

Wow so this is what i have been missing
When i first looked at the web site i was worried about the low price. Then i recieved the product in about a week all the way to Canada and i was impressed. The build quality is second to none. i have shown it around to a few friends and they all thought it was worth double or triple what i paid because of build quality alone. Install was a snap longest part was opening the beer! looks great on looks great off with the bracket totally hidden. I went for a long ride and actually got to enjoy the very expensive highway pegs i installed years ago. The ride ws so nice and relaxing that i had almost forgotten the time. The guys at Grasshopper did a great job you can tell these guys are bikers they just get it. Nothing too fancy just works and looks good. My advice to anyone get one now before the price goes uo cause they have figured out what an excellent product they have. Thank you grasshopper
