Small backrest for my 2021 RT Limited The installation instructions were ok, but I would have preferred better pictures. As a brand new Spyder owner, I struggled with things that someone more familiar with it might find easy, such as, getting the rear seat unlatched and lifting the seat frame to get the vertical post in the right place. Once I was able to install the entire setup, I was disappointed that the backrest was not adjustable far enough to the rear for optimal comfort and the pad itself was just too small for my liking. It made the riding position tolerable but disappointing.
Then I compared the backrest pad to the one on my 2006 Honda Gold Wing. Looked like I might have a match. I uninstalled just the old backrest pad off my Wing and it fit perfectly onto the new backrest hardware on my Spyder. It now sits just right and is very comfortable to ride the Spyder!! I gave this a 3 star rating because of the inadequate instructions and that it just wouldn't adjust farther to the rear for this 6'2" 260 lb man to be comfortable on rides. Note the 2 photos with the Gold Wing backrest pad now on the Spyder and the new Spyder backrest now on the Gold Wing.
