Guest Kurt Leopold Posted February 4, 2009 Share #27 Posted February 4, 2009 I ordered and installed the utopia backrest on my 2008 Venture. It's great and the design was made to match this 2008 model. I wouldn't give it up for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecb Posted February 5, 2009 Share #28 Posted February 5, 2009 I have arthritus in my back. The Utopia made it possible for me to ride long distances. Before the backrest, I could only ride for about 2 hours. Now I have no problem. The only thing I have to worry about is how I park the bike. I can pull it backwards, but my back won't let me push it forward,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecount Posted February 5, 2009 Share #29 Posted February 5, 2009 You have several options. Diamond R Accessories makes a very nice one. They are also GREAT to deal with and are a very good supporter of VentureRider.org http://diamondraccessories.com Utopia also makes a nice one. http://www.utpr.com Both fold forward but neither are quick detachable. The only ones I know of that are quick and easy to remove are those that come with custom seats and plug into a hole is the seat. Corbin, Travelcade, a few others offer such custom seats and backrests but you are going to pay BIG MONEY for them. I have the Corbin on mine and love it but you are talking upwards of $700.00 for a new seat, backrest, etc. I asked the similar question in January. I chose to send the seats to Rick Butler to the modification. Found the the Custom seats end up around $1000 by the time you get them to Canada and in Cdn $$'s . Likely installing a Utopia back rest first. Seat Mod + Back rest, is a more cost effective way. Allows for time to check out custom seats during the riding season.

Hotrod Posted February 5, 2009 Share #30 Posted February 5, 2009 You might want to check with Custom World International.They are a Canadian company. One of my friends has one on his and he loves it.They are expensive,$350 Plus in the states,but very well made, bolts to the sides and easy to take off if you decide to.I have to agree on the Corbin seat and backrest combo.They are expensive,but the difference between it and the stock seat is like comparing night and day.Also,the CWI does fold down for easy passenger access.

Triple J Posted July 9, 2015 Share #31 Posted July 9, 2015 Doesn't look like Diamond R does backrests anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple J Posted July 10, 2015 Share #32 Posted July 10, 2015 Does anyone know if the backrest from a tour deluxe will work on a venture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple J Posted July 10, 2015 Share #33 Posted July 10, 2015 Looks like I might have answered my own question but verification would be nice. http://www.utpr.com/rsrsvinstallation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
