Tavares, Fl | I'm looking at a Utopia drivers backrest but the pad looks a little large. Bob at Utopia said he can make a different sized pad. Does anyone have the Victory backrest and what size is the pad. Thanks Roger |

Peru, IN | I can't comment on the OEM backrest but the Utopia backrest is a no brainer. It could be the best money I've spent on the Vision. I thought it would be too tall, too, but it's not. It's just right. |

Peru, IN | I don't have an OL so I never ride 2 up. Unless your passenger has "large" legs, I don't think it would be an issue but I don't know for sure. You can move the Utopia backrest up about 1-2" so even if it was a little cramped for her (I'm just assuming it's a "her" ), it should be ok with the Utopia adjusted.

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | I installed the victory driver's backrest & bracket-didn't like the look of the utopia & price was a wash. It was not a drop in install on my '09s heated seat-had to do some carvin' on the seat pan to get everything to work but it came out nice & has held up well. My copilot likes the little bag to keep goodies in and it doesn't look like an add on.

| Just installed a Utopia on my 2011 VV. It's larger than the factory Vic backrest but I don't think it's too large. Really comfortable. We ride 2 up a lot and wife says while it does take up space it's not in the way. The Utopia comes with a large pouch that is velcroed so it is easily removeable. The Utopia is multi-adjustable so you can get just the fit you like. The material matches the VV perfectly. Very well built and professionally done. No regrets. |

Tavares, Fl | I've been in contact with Bob at Utopia. I had one on my 08 Vision and did not remember it being so big. He said they've always been the same size so I guess I'll order the Utopia since we were happy with it. THanks Roger |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | The OEM is adjustable forward/back with a chrome knob and has several heights that it locks into also. |

W'ford Tx | I can't say for the OEM but what I like about my utopia is that the recline is adjustable on the fly. Gives me the ability to sit up straight and supported or give myself a gangster lean. |

Jal NM | Yes the OEM back rest is ajustable up and down and foward and back just like the utopia back rest. |
