Ultimate Removable Driver Backrest

All Ultimate Royal Star passenger seats have the driver backrest hardware built into them, so you can add the backrest at any time.

• Pad measures 7" high by 10" wide by 1.5" thick.
• Built using the same memory foam as our seats.
• Infinite tilt to match your back angle.
• Backrest folds down forward for easily mounting and dismounting your Royal Star.
• Adjustment forward and back is more than 2 inches.
• Adjusts with a thumb screw while you're riding.
• No need to remove the seat or use a wrench.
• Includes zipper storage pouch that velcros to the back of the backrest.

Detachable storage pouch measures 9"W x 6"H and is protected by the driver backrest built in rain flap.

Ultimate Sissy Bar Pad

The Ultimate large sissy bar pad is 12" wide, 8" high and 2" thick. The pad comes with stainless steel screws and fits on your stock Yamaha® sissy bar. This pad is designed for the tall Yamaha® sissy bar. We also manufacture large sissy bar pads that will fit other aftermarket sissy bars.

Leather Versus Vinyl and Rain Covers

Leather seating in our homes or vehicles works well for some users however leather seats do not weather well left out in the sun and rain.
In my opinion, there are no advantages with a leather seat on a motorcycle.
Most people cannot visually tell the difference between our premium marine grade Vinyl and Leather unless they are side by side and then it needs to be pointed out which is which.
Neither Leather or Vinyl breathes except through the stitching.
Neither seats, Vinyl or Leather are waterproof. A Vinyl seat will let water in through the stitching and Leather will do the same and also soak through the hide if it gets really wet.
Durability is similar but our premium Vinyl will hold its shape and new look longer than Leather.
A rain cover should be used to prevent water from seeping through the stitches into the comfort foam.
We recommend you cover your seats with our waterproof ride on rain covers when your bike is sitting or riding in the rain.

Enjoy the ride again,
