Fargo, ND | I reciently ordered the Utopia backrest for my 2009 Vision Tour Premium w/ heated seats. I tossed around the idea for a couple of weeks before I ordered it. After watching the install video on their web site I am confident that I can install it without any trouble. The video spells it out completely and the diagrams for the vision seat are very detailed. I will however have a bit of a cringe in my gut when I plunge that serated knife into my nice new seat. The results should out weigh the anxiety of the installation. I will repost when I get it installed and let you know more about the process. It takes about 2 weeks to get one once you order it, so if you are planning a trip to Sturgis this year... you might be too late to order it in time. The install only takes about 1 hour from start to finish so this should be a piece of cake.

Florida | I did it in less than an hour thanks to the video. It is very easy. I also watched the cutting part 4 times to make sure I didn't mess it up
My back has not bothered me since putting in the backrest. You will love it |

San Antonio, TX | I love my Utopia Backrest.
Is this the video you guys are talking about?
I am glad that they linked it to the Utopia web site but I had to scratch my when they thanked Andy.
When I finished it, I uploaded the video to Youtube and posted it to Vision-Riders.com, theVOG.net and theVMC.com as I normally do for this type of video.
Vision-Rider.com is my first posting site for any Technical data I create for the Vision and is always listed in the text of the video.
I made the video in my driveway during my own install.
My notes on the install:
There are three parts that really make it support properly.
One, the plastic shell of the seat, two the T-Bar that goes under the plastic seat shell and three the upright that goes over and next to the plastic shell.
The three pieces should fit together tightly and be parallel.
My cut turned out OK. I would do better if I did it again. I did not picture in my mind the purpose for the cut before I did the cut.
If I did it again, I would imagine that..... If I put my hand under the seat, right where the T-Bar goes and push the knife in from above. The knife should go through the foam......then slide along the plastic shell of the seat towards my hand under the seat.
