OK we would like to put a utopia back rest on the RT and was wondering if the same backrest that the Goldwing uses will work on the Spyder? There are three of us that want to put one on but need to know where to get them?
I have had one on the GW trike for years and really want one on the spyder also.
I have never had a Gold wing, but I don't think they will work as the rest mounts on the seatpan underneath and the bracket is shaped specific to fit the pan

The Utopia backrest gets consistently good reviews and can be bolted on by anybody who's reasonably confident around a toolbox... Which leaves ME out...

The backrest from the GW may work but the mount will not. The mount is specific to the seat 'pan' form. Also, the Spyder backrest, and I suspect the GW backrest, are designed to compliment the factory upholstery(sp?).
