Backrest
So far it is great, just as advertised. But, it’s cold in Colorado and I’ve ridden only twice, hence 4 rating. If spring tension doesn’t weaken after riding a while I’d rate it a 5.

Mounting bracket was a bit difficult to secure to the bike.. concave shape of bracket did not fit neatly on fender. Required some bending to have enough bolt through the bracket to start the nuts.

Very Happy
Install is about as easy as they come. I feel no fatigue at all now when riding my softail. One thing to note, as a taller guy (6'3) I do sit slightly forward more which makes my foot controls feel slightly awkward. I believe I can remedy this by playing with the angle of the seat.
