Those Haulin Ass back rest seem quite expensive for what they are, and with the dollar the way it is buying one would be a right luxury, so the kids are going to have to hang on tighter.

I've got one and rate them very highly. I only put it on when the missus comes for a ride. It takes about 3-5 minutes to put on or take off. It keeps the clean lines of the bike as well. As for strength......how strong do ya want it. There is no chance of the HA backrest bending unless you are trying to tow a truck with it.
