My back rest is due in 25 Aug 08. I love the leather matches up, thanks for the pics. Now I just have to find someone mean enough to cut into the new seat.

I just recenly came back from a trip where I found someone who installed the Utopia driver backrest. He did say that making the cut into the seat was somewhat nerve racking. What he did was used a level perpindicular to the seat to ensure that the cut went in straight. he actually is a member of the site and I belive uses the name "fargo".

Just installed mine today after getting enough nerve to cut the seat. I convinced myself, I could always get the seat recovered if it didn't work and then got out the butcher knife. It took @ 30 minutes to install.
The backrest fits me fine, but the Mrs. says it is too wide for her legs. I am going to see if I can get a different back pad that is tapered down at the bottom.
I can not afford divorce court right now, so I didn't suggest a diet =).
