New Utopia installed on my 2008 GS

[Spyderjockey]

Finally got my Utopia and installed it a couple of days ago. My wife says it crowds her a little in the unmentionable area but it is a really new mod so we can work around for some solutions. I hope she gets to like and gets used to it Here are some pics

That looks great. I know that you've wanted one for some time. Just think how much stuff Nancy can store in that back pocket! You need a lock for it.

With the riding position of the GS being sport touring and a forward lean, is the backrest effective?

Ya I already did that, it was back already within a half inch to the end of adjustment. Thinking now of either getting there padded cover or making my own......only thing is that will decrease even more room but at least it will be softer.:dontknow: My wife is quite small at about 145 lbs. and 5'2".

I put the Kewl metal 3 axis adjustable bars on last year (love them) so I have a more upright riding position. Also the back rest has a lot of adjustment to it.......so far I love that also!!:yes:

Thanks Ken, they had a good price on it at Ingles open house so I went for it! It was a little labor intensive but hopefully will be worth it.
Sounds like you know Nancy as well as I do!!:roflblack::roflblack:


Hope all is well with you and Nancy. I know we had a great time with you guys a couple of weeks ago!!:thumbup:

Ya this weekend Shawn, we've been out a couple of times on short rides. Hopefully if the rain stays away for a while we will be going on a longer ride this weekend.
