We talked with Utopia Backrest , the best rest on the market,about a backrest for her new RTS they are waiting for someone to send their seat [at a substantial savings] so they can prototype one for the new RTS,since we live in Southeast Texas and ride year round,I requested the first production model in hopes someone in a more inclimate winter would send theirs, my wife is not willing to part with her seat yet. For anyone unfamillar ,I have a Utopia on my Venture, and my wife had on both of her Goldwing Trikes and they are great completely adjustable, first quality.He guaranteed in on monday out by next monday.

WE need to find someone in the snow country that would give up their seat for a week to send to Utopia for the back rest! BTW, what venture do you have? I sold mine because of hand and leg problems and looking at a RT. Do you belong to venturerider.org?

2007 Midnight Venture

I bought my Venture on Feb.5 2008 , it now has 59,000 mi. is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned, I ride it daily to commute 40 mi. one way and have ridden it cross country a coupe of times,to Dragon etc., now with the RTS and cargo trailer I am pulling our bunkhouse camper , just installed electric brakes to trailer and controls to my bike yesterday. I have pulled it in the past but now will be all the time I wanted the brakes. By the Way I have owned, BMW, Honda ,Suzuki, Yamaha, and a Kawasaki Concours,probably the best all around bike I ever owned , And now Can Am for the wife including two Trikes for her a 2000 Motortrike, 2007 Champion Goldwings, we dont discriminate if it has wheels one of us will ride it.

I received and installed my Utopia backrest last night. It took about 1 hr. start to finish. The hardest thing about the install was getting the seat bolts back in and tightened. I took the advise of some of the others and after getting the bolts in tightened them from the top.
I love the way the backrest looks, and the workmanship is excellent. There is plenty of adjustment and after this mornings ride to work I'd say this is a winner.
Thanks to all who shared their experiences. I would reccomend this mod to anyone who loves to sit in a lazyboy
