2020+ Spyder RT Utopia backrest bracket install

This is on a 2021 RT Limited with heated comfort seat. The seat pan and installation is identical on all 2020+ RTs. I assume no responsibility for you doing it wrong, injuring yourself or others and all of those other legal disclaimers. If you aren't qualified to use tools, take it to a mechanic. Sorry about the mess under the sink in our garage. Buy my '06 GoldWing and I'll have room to clean it up!

Tech tip : The backrest installation slit doubles as a handy card holder or go to if you find yourself unable to effect any repair in the future . Thank you for posting , well done Sir ! Sailors make great teachers . Thank you for getting right to it . Get in, get out , no "fussing" about yo ho, yo ho, yo ho !

Many thanks for the video. I have the Utopia backrest ordered (actually got shipped out today) so looking forward to the installation. I have the same machine (mine is a 2020) so I figure you just saved me a bit of grief with the install :).
Cheers

Thank you very much for the video tutorial. It saved me a lot of time and frustration! :) Worked perfect on my wife's 2021 Sea to Sky edition.

Quite welcome. Once I figured mine out, I saw several others having difficulty so decided to redo it on video. Like so many otber things, you just need to know the "trick".

Nice information. Thanks for sharing. I don’t have a Spyder yet but I like the info. Not sure if I’ll get used or new, probably used, these dealers won’t budge off sticker!😡

I bought from iMotorsports. Spyderlovers,com forum members get MSRP + $303, no setup or freight charge and delivered to your door.

Tabs are buried a little deep, took me a few to find the tabs.

Kind of a "press on faith" as I didn't really feel them move when I pressed, but they released.
