INSTALLING IS A BREEZE. IT MATCHES RIGHT UP TO THE STOCK SEATS. WISH I COULD HAVE FOUND IT CHEAPER BUT I LOOKED ALL OVER THE NET. THE CHEAPEST I FOUND WAS 20 BUCKS CHEAPER BUT I WAS ALREADY ORDERING OTHER STUFF. WAY TOO PRICEY BUT IF THATS THE ONLY MODEL THAT FITS THEN YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO!

Troligtvis den bästa investeringen så här lång på min hoj. Ett måste så som jag ser det. Review Details  0 out of 2 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 07/28/07 by Mike (mkmadron) from Rio Rancho, NM, United States, for a 2001 1100 Shadow Aero wrote: Easy to install. I consider this a "Must Have" item. I ride with giant beach bars on my Aero, and I feel like this adds immeasurably to riding comfort. I will NEVER have a bike without a backrest like this one ever again. However, i would like it if I could adjust the "depth" of the seat back. Often I feel like the seat back is pushing me forward on my seat ( stock), which I don't like. If it were situated about 2 inches further back, it would be perfect. To try to make the fit better, I removed the rubber stopper on the seat (about 1/4 in. relief) from the seat back.

(3 stars) reviewed on 04/20/06 by jim (jimmycut) from sacramento, CA, United States, for a 1998 1100 Shadow Aero wrote: OK, but doesn`t realy match with other seats. (is it leather?) should be for the money, Went on very easy as expected. Would I buy again?? I would only spend that much if it matched. Have not rode with it on yet, so hopefuly that will make up for it! Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

It is too early to tell how comfortable it is but it looks great and feels like it will be a great addition to ease the back pain. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

I really like it...great support on those long Parkway cruises. I think it looks great too. Added some studs for about 3 bucks from Tandy, easy to do as the cover zips off.

(3 stars) reviewed on 05/08/05 by Dennis (DoubleDecaf) from Calgary, AB, Canada, for a 2001 1100 Shadow Aero wrote: I have a bad back and arthritic shoulders, so a backrest is a necessity for me on the Aero. It improves my posture, decreases my reach for the bars, and provides much-needed support. Lessens fatigue dramatically on longer trips. I made a MISTAKE. I used the same nut/bolts as came with the bike. With the thick metal bracket, the cap nut now extended further down and put a dent in my fender. Ouch! I don't know how this would work with the passenger seat, as I use the solo setup. Seems to me it would make it worse. Comments? Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

(5 stars) reviewed on 03/02/05 by Bryan (Downtime) from Hurst, TX, United States, for a 1998 1100 Shadow Aero wrote: How'd I ever get along without this?! I had to elongate the mounting holes a bit more to move the whole assembly back farther in relation to the seat, but it was an easy mod and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this backrest to anyone who still runs the stock seat.

(5 stars) reviewed on 09/09/03 by randy (TucsonAero) from , , United States, for a 1100 Shadow Aero wrote: Just received the backrest today and it was easy to install. On the Shadow Aero, it uses the 3 mounting bolts where the pillon seat attaches to the drivers seat. Very simple. I rode to work tonight and noticed a big difference in comfort. Also, when accelerating, the backrest takes the pressure, not your hands and arms from hanging on. This is a must get item. I have since taken a ride of about 150 miles and am pleased to report that I had no back pains at all. Review Details  5 out of 5 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?
