| Cosmic_Jumper is right. Go to the site via his link and look carefully at the installation instructions and it leaves little doubt. Nice work Cosmic_Jumper. |

| I will contact Utopia on Monday. As I stated, I visited their website and even downloaded their instructions. There are definite similarities, but the socket design is unlike anything on their website and unlike any other Utopia backrest I have ever seen. I’ve had a Utopia on my Goldwing for over 25 years and the backrest portion is the same today as it was then. I’ve never seen a Utopia that just slid into a socket. They all seem to hinge and remain in place. Maybe this was a sort-lived experiment. Hopefully, I can buy just the backrest on a rectangular bar and be good to go. |

| My butt pad was missing when I bought my used 2002 SWing. I've looked but can't seem to find one. Any ideas? |
