Back rest for 1982 ASP coments anyone.

 

[Omega Man]

I have one on my 82 and really like it. I have back problems and the added support helps.

~O~

I ordered my from Utopia; I saw their ad in 'Wing World'. I could not be more please with their service and the backrest.
It has really, REALLY made riding more enjoyable :thanks: - it matches the seat perfectly and looks like it came that way from the factory.
I'd strongly encourage you to give those folks a call! :yes:

I have a Markland fold forward on my '81...prolly one of the best additions I have made, as far as comfort goes. Only problem with mine is I have to remove it for 2-up riding, as there is just not enough room between it and the trunk for Mama. I need to scoot my trunk back some... :good:

 

[warnett]

AApple Thats the same one that came with my 82. I just put it on yesterday. Looking at your picture yours is above the back of your set. How many adjustment positions are there? Mines in the 3rd one. The issue I have with mine is the holder on the frame is hard on my thigh when I stop. I'm thinking about making something that will cover the hinge.

 

[AApple]

Mine has 3 fore/aft positions. I have mine in the front-most position, and that seems to be just right for me. It will also adjust up/down. I also had an issue with the side brackets....I'm used to them now, and hardly even notice them. If your legs are shorter than mine, then yours will prolly be more aggravating. Sometimes, the cotter pin(s) get flipped around, and dig into me thigh...I keep intending to replace the cotter pins with hitch clips, but I haven't yet.

me like mine too joel there perfect in design

 

[dan filipi]

Far from perfect with the design on the side.
Jabbing my thigh is why I took mine off.

Climbing over it getting on and off is why mine is on eBay

That is the problem I have with mine, but when I am on a long ride, the comfort that the back rest provides out weights the discomfort in the thighs

Mine is very similar and I love it.
My previous one mounted on the side similar to the markland,but you could pop it on and off in a half a second.But it did bother the back of the legs.
The new (saddleman I have know tips forward,or just pull it out to board the bike and no external brackets.

[AApple]

I agree . I havw a back rear for the 1500 because I prefer the 2 up kind even if it talks rour ear off.

 

[warnett]

LMAO

 

[detdrbuzzard]

my 1200 has the backrest external bracket and the 1500 has the built in backrest

 

[KYWinger]

The Utopia bracket comes up thru the seat and the backrest tilts forward.
Works great and it is not in the way at all for my wife.
