labeldave Posted January 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2009 Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the overstuffed Driver backrest from Diamond R. I am hoping this will help me from slouching when I drive. Anyone with this backrest or any confirm it will help. Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinto Posted January 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2009 While I have not used the Diamond R backrest, I have used a backrest on both my V Star and now the RSV and find it very helpful for the longer rides. Once you find the right position for your back you will not want to be without even for the shorter rides. Backrests are standard equipment on my bikes.

Missionary Rider Posted January 20, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2009 I love my Diamond R - it feels good on the short rides and I can't imagine a long ride without it. It keeps me from slumping and prevents the accompanying back fatigue and pain. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relic Posted January 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2009 I also love mine and wonder now how I rode without it. Also I highly recommend DiamondR as a great company to deal with if you have any issues. Allen and Patti are number one in the customer service business.

LUCKYSTIFF39 Posted January 20, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2009 .....................................WOW, just what I have been thinking about. Is it a drivers backrest for the OEM seat? I need one for my RSTD. Who did you order it from, and how much. Thanks..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidrow Posted January 20, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 20, 2009 Two years ago rode to the midwest without the backrest. At 500 mile my rear was so sore. This past summer got a cheap backrest and did the exact same trip. After 500+ mile i was still ready to go but midnight and being sleepy made me stop. I agree that every one should have one.

I ordered mine directly from diamond r accessories http://www.diamondraccessories.com. it was about 250. I always find my self straightening my back when I ride for a while. This should do the trick. Thanks folks. P.S. I got all my info from you folks.... Thanks to everyone. P.P.S. Main reason I ordered it was a group of us new englanders are going to do an Iron Butt ride (1000 mile). Anyone interested on here p.m. me.... Edited January 20, 2009 by labeldave add website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
