• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

After Market Passenger Backrest

I'm looking at (2) 2013's. One is a ST-S and a ST. I will need a passenger backrest. Is there any good after market backrest? I looked at BRP, a bit pricey. How are Spyders accepted at bike events?
 
st backrests

The above options may suit. Another is the smoothspyder backrest (seller is on this forum) which is brilliant in that it goes from passenger to rider backrest with the flick of a couple of levers.
 
Another vote for Utopia. About $250. They work great, are easily installed, and a bit adjustable. Win/Win/Win.
 
Try this..!!

Smoothspyder a sponsor on the home page. His will flip and be the drivers back rest when solo or passengers when double up. Well made and no tools required to make the switch...:thumbup:
 
look at utopia for back rests, spyders have almost become the norm at most bike events.

Online it looks like the Utopia's option is only for the driver's backrest unless they have to be contacted directly? I too have been looking for a reasonable passenger backrest option and have only found the oem or smoothspyder for my RS-S (both $450+)
 
all of these are so expensive for a backrest, not like a lot of engineering went into them, but gotta have one if you have a passenger. I posted on a nice one i had that was around 150-175 cant remember. It was actually more comfortable that the Corbin one i have on there now but wouldnt fit with the corbin seat. search backrest you should find it.
 
Here is a picture of mine.
