Here's a video demonstration of the Utopia Adjustable Backrest


I'm currently riding a 2010 Can-Am Spyder RT-S Premiere Edition. Yes, it's Not a Victory...but it appears to be a cutting edge three-wheeled touring vehicle. I have owned a Victory Vision Tour Premium with S1 L1s and a bunch of extras, Harley Road King, Yamaha Silverado, Harley Softtail Special, Honda Goldwing, Yamaha Royal Star, Yamaha YZF 600, Honda Shadow, Honda Helix, Yamaha Elite Scooter, Honda CX-500, Honda 50 and a Moped!

As a follow-up, after riding with the Utopia Backrest on the Vision for a few weeks, I have to give it high marks. Not only is it comfortable, as a "vertically challenged" rider, I have found that with a simple adjustment, it can move me forward in the seat and allow for a more comfortable, upright riding position. It's sturdy and allows the rider to stretch out when needed to avoid fatigue and it virtually eliminates the lower back pain I would feel on longer rides. 

The only negative I've found is that it takes away a few inches of passenger room, but not enough to where I would call it a red flag issue. Also, it would be nice if it was easily removed when not in use without having to remove the seat. But that's a double edge sword as the mounting bracket is very sturdy and the "insertable" backrests I've seen in the past don't appear to be as sturdy as the Utopia model. 

Simply stated, it makes an already comfortable seat even more comfortable.
