8/6/08: Jerry, On Monday the FJR Stealth Backrest arrived at our apartment club house. It took my husband 10 minutes to install !!!! Yeah. Took a ride right after and I liked the look of it and the pad wraps around my back really nice. I am 5'10'' and it fits in the middle of my back. I am very impressed. It was worth the wait.

| Rec'd back rest today @ 4pm. Installed on bike @ 4:05 w/o any trouble. Packaged well and instructions were easy to follow if needed. We went for a 30 mile ride and my wife is impressed so far. The height, width, and angle are spot on. This Sunday we plan on going for a longer ride and I will e-mail you Sunday evening with final results. So far, it looks like a keeper. The black vinyl that you used from the ST1300 is a good match to my leather saddle. FYI....If any one has a Russell seat and is curious if the backrest will fit, IT DOES! Thanks for allowing us to test your product! Frank & Benita Bush / Lebanon Junction, Kentucky .. Prototype Testers / 2007 FJR1300 |
| Just got back in from dinner with Mike, his wife and another friend. Mike and Stacey (his wife) did a ride up to the gym this am on the FJR, at least 7 miles each direction. She said it was good all around and wouldn't change anything. Support, angle, height, all good... FYI, she's about 5'0, mid 30's, knows how to ride and has ridden on the back of many motorcycles.

| Installed backrest, easy as stealin' pieces of eight from a kid! Seriously, about 5 mins and it looks great, in fact one comment I had was "I didn't know Yamaha even made a backrest for that"? So... a compliment I'm sure! Judy and I took a short ride today Saturday 4/26 about 20 or so miles and she loved it! This is good for me cuz she's not as avid a rider as I wish so I'm sure this is gonna help! 1. Design is really simple and great, looks "factory" if that's a compliment to you? - 2. Everyone but me likes the "Rhino" finish, I'm not sure a nice gloss black or dark powder coat might be better? 3. Instructions excellent, simple and right on and really nice workmanship and materials - 4. Packing job was good and delivery time reasonable, like the tracking option. - 5. The material used for the pad is great, almost matches the stock FJR seat pattern. Judy likes it, she said "it makes her feel much more secure, especially in the corners" One of the pics I hope you receive shows her and she is very vertical...good posture for riding but not sure if long trips might need a bit less vertical, it does flex a bit so probably no room between hand loop? Thanks for letting us test, it's appreciated.. George and Judy Ward / South Weymouth, Ma .. Prototype Testers / 2007 FJR1300 |
| My 10 year old son loves it. My cruiser has a sissy bar and is much slower, that is what he was uesd to. He had trouble keeping his feet on the pegs when we would accelerate on the FJR. We went on a short ride the other night and he said he could ride the FJR all day now. He said it is very comfortable, and he feels secure on the bike now. We both are very happy.
