Fitted this rack to my 05 XL883R more because I wanted a substantial sized rack with an upright to stash gear against than I wanted a backrest, but I have to say I am delighted with the product.
Fitting was easy (about twenty minutes). Chrome looks really good and I really like how it looks on the bike.
Yesterday (1st December 09)I went out for a 300 miler. all 'A' Roads, I rode non stop at between 50 and 60 mph until I hit reserve at 139 miles and it took nearly three hours. Three hours! I have never sat for so long on a bike before. Two hours twenty was my previous record and that nearly killed me. The back rest made a huge difference (I have forward foot controls as well). Two other things, it keeps the small of your back and kidney area much warmer on cold days like yesterday and it somehow seems to help with counter steering. If you don't know what counter steering is - find out, you should be doing it.
I highly recommend this product.
