YAMAHA STRATOLINER or ROADLINER

Loved the Back Rest It was Perfect!

I have a 2008 Yamaha Roadliner. The backrest is great. It was very easy to install, and I find it comfortable while riding. Unfortunately, when the backrest is not installed the bracket that remains attached to the passenger seat is very uncomfortable. Could use a pad cover for when backrest is not in use. To have to install / uninstall each time will be somewhat cumbersome.

Very good and prompt presales support. Ordered a solo version for an XV1900 Roadliner, very quick delivery (within 4 days to Europe). By mistake the pillion version was delivered. Impressive quality, but not what I wanted. Grasshopper reacted within one day(!) and has sent me a replacement free - due to high shipment cost they did not even want to have the first delivery back! Impressive. So, now I can judge both versions - well built, sturdy, they make a good impression. Mounted the solo one, fits good, looks really excellent and fits the stock seat and my luggage rack really fine. All you need are just two longer M8 screws, as the original ones are too short - mounted in 5 minutes. The solo version has an additional small allen screw for fixing, easy to remove but no way for nonchalantly taking away, as an other reviewer wrote. And as for the main purpose - yes, it is very comfortable, perfect angle/size for me. It is like riding a new bike :-) Highly recommended, even with shipping costs more affordable than any other backrest in Europe and considering the support - worth every cent! Absolutely satisfied.
