Review: Great Drivers Backrest for my Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700 - I love to go on long rides, and my back gets a bit tired after a while. I was looking for a sturdy backrest that was easy to install, put on, and take off. After an extensive search and research on the internet, I decided to give the Grasshopper Drivers Backrest a try. The company contacted me first after my order to find out what motorcycle and model I owned, and after I clarified this to them, the shipping time was fast. Installation is easy. You just need to remove two nuts from the driver's seat, attach the Backrest panel under the seat brackets, and then fasten the two nuts again. Because of the thickness of the Backrest flange, the nuts, which are nylock nuts, don't engage all the way, meaning the seat bolts will not protrude beyond the nuts, possibly not engaging with the nylon part. This is not a big thing since there are plenty of threads that engage with the bolts, and a drop of Locktite will ensure that the nuts stay in place in case anyone worries about them. When installing the Backrest bracket, you also need to push it as close as possible to the back of the seat before tightening the nuts. Otherwise, it will interfere with the motorcycle's seat-locking bracket. Having written all of this, the installation took me about 10 minutes or less. So, it's super easy as long as you follow the steps mentioned above. After the seat is back attached to the bike, you have to pry back the backseat cushion and slide the backrest into the receptacle you have attached to the seat. I took the bike for an hour ride afterward, and it was a game-changer. The support makes a big difference, and I can see myself riding long tours with little to no back pain. Taking it off is also super easy. Just slide it out of its bracket and put it into one of the paneers. Some reviews complained about the backrest being too loose and moving around. Mine is sturdy, with hardly any side-to-side movements. This was an excellent purchase for me.
Review: Fits 2024 Voyager - Just what I needed for my 2024 voyager. Easy bolted up to the seat in just a few mins. Very comfortable and durable. Matches the stock seat perfectly. Great value and easy to take on and off.
