Kuryakyn Backrest A Must For Goldwing Riders By JPnMO on Jun 07, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Anyone who rides a motorcycle knows that comfort is a big issue. It's hard to enjoy yourself if you are uncomfortable. This backrest by Kuryakyn is just the thing to increase your Goldwing riding pleasure. The backrest is high enough to support your shoulders on long rides. With three adjustable positions, quick release mounts can be adjusted to suit each rider and allow for easy removal. The entire backrest pivots forward to allow easy access for passenger mount and dismount. My husband is 6'1" and this gives him the extra support and comfort that he desires. He has tried other backrests but said they don't come up as high and don't give him the support he needs.

The padded backrest matches the original seat, giving your bike a classic look and style. Pivot covers on the quick release mounts add a finished look.

On the back of the seat is a zippered storage pouch which easily holds glasses, cameras, snacks or whatever you want to take with you. I've always got small things that I want easy access to and this feature is one I personally love.

Installation is easy, taking about five minutes using the manufacturer's original seat handles and new bolts, which are included.

For more enjoyable rides with plenty of shoulder support, this backrest is well worth the cost.
