Well, ordered one today anyway. Time to see what the fuss is about. Hope it pushes me forward a little bit too (I'm short.)

Ive owned two so far and i love them! I just used mine on a little 1500 mile run and without it that ride would of not been as pleasant!

I've had Utopia backrests on both of my old Goldwings and they definitely make a difference on a long ride! There were times when on an IBA ride where I would flip the backrest back over the post so that I would have more room and just to give a different seating position, I also flipped it when I was riding in a sporty fashion and moving around on the seat, like when riding through Deals Gap. I've been contemplating getting another one for the Vision (another pullout one) but I have also been looking at getting a 2010 or newer seat and use the Victory backrest so that when you pull it out you see nothing at all.
