First impression 4.5 stars
I just got mine this week and have only used it once going back and forth to work about 50 miles. I am leaving this weekend for a 2500 mile trip so the real test is yet to come. Took 5 business days to arrive, ordered on Thursday morning and it arrived USPS on the following Wednesday. Super easy to install and so far pretty comfortable. I also feel the cost was really reasonable for the product. I do wish it were a tad more rigid when resting against it, but, with how it installs, I do not think there would be any way to resolve that issue. (I am also 6'3" 240lbs) This product looks nice, my only reservation is that it is stapled together on the underside and not stitched like the rest of it. You cannot see the them when installed and they will probably hold up just fine. Overall seems like a great product and I would recommend. After my trip, if I feel differently I will re-review.

Should have done this sooner.
I had been thinking about getting a drivers backrest for a few years and always remember to look into it just before my week long bike trip when it's too late. This year I ordered it while there was still snow on the ground. The installation was simple and I'll have to check if the bracket remains tightly fastened to the fender, but I sat on it and I think I'm going to love this thing. I gave it 5 stars because the quality and feel were a bargin at $99, so even without using it for a long ride yet, I think it's a great product. If my opinion changes after using it more, I will update.
