Vulcan 900 driver backrest1/20/2023 So I've had it on for a few hundred kilometers now and it has been more than worth it for me. I have no problem paying what I paid to get a great product from that shop, they deserve the support. I had a friend suggest that it was a bit expensive for a simple backrest and I suppose that could be true, but in my opinion it looks great, seems well made and solid, was easy to mount, does a great job making my rides more enjoyable, and dealing with Von and Hans was a pleasure. I don't really consider this a negative, I'm just mentioning it for full disclosure. So I avoid doing that and the rubber washer helps keep it in place the whole rest of the time. What I mean is if you bump it throwing a leg over it may move a little. I'm not saying it moves at all when you're riding, it can't, you're leaning against it. There isn't any way I've found to make it rock solid simply because it only attaches at that one bolt and you can only tighten that so much. I did end up using a rubber washer to help keep the backrest from moving too much. The windscreen and floorboards I added last year helped, but the addition of the backrest support has made my longer rides more comfortable and it also makes riding at freeway speeds less tiring over time as I am not using nearly as much energy as I did before sitting up against the wind.
