Great product, fantastic customer service.
Purchased a backrest for my 2007 1300 tourer, when it arrived it was the wrong item. Contacted Lonnie and he corrected the problem and within a week I had my replacement(keep in mind it had to be shipped to the east coast of Canada) I have installed the backrest with ease, took less than 5 minutes. Looks great on the bike and feels fantastic on the back. Great product for the price. I will be recommending Grasshopper to all my riding friends.

Great product for the price
Installed this backrest on my new to me 2008 V star 1300 tourer. The backrest blends with the styling of the bike. It is easy to remove, the center base does not interfere with the passenger, and I can swing my leg over the backrest to get on the bike. I has to file down the washers to get them to fit into the grove in the base, but that was no big deal. This backrest fits snugly into the base with no tape required.

Outstanding!
Recently purchased my first bike, 2014 v-star 1300. Immediately I knew I needed back support. Upon receipt of my backrest, I immediately installed it. Makes my ride tremendously more comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend this product.
