    I like the backrest and have in on two of my bikes, and previously on other bikes. However the Pull Knob Adjuster seems to have lost the spring. Is this a serviceable part? See photo.

    Pretty comfortable. Initially thought it was a bit wobbly but that turned out to be a benefit with adjusting to my back. I wish it had lower pad positioning. The lowest one is a little higher than I would like.

    It sucks. It does not match up with the hardware that i bought. I didnt even get an invoice with this product. I am going to try and return it to a dealer. Get the one that i actually needed and hopefully it will work.
