There are several ways to solve that issue. Starting from the easiest. 1) Add a
pad, sometimes called a butt buffer, you can get them in varying sizes and
materials and many are much more comfortable than a stock backrest. 2) Adjust
the bars with a riser or a moderate tilt our a combination. 3) Replace your
bars with some bars that have a longer reach to help offset the difference. Of
course you could always go to the extreme and put on some ape hangers... LOL

I sat there for a while with my hands on the grips and realized that whoever
put that backrest on must have had longer arms than me. The backrest doesn't
touch my back at all in that position. If I drop one hand and lean back, OK,
but otherwise there's air between me and the backrest.
Glenn, those backrests are usually very adjustable, so you should play around
with it. Quite honestly I think driver's backrest are AMAZING, and my wife
never had any trouble getting on our Wing. As Javier said, mounting it with
your foot on the peg/foot rest and swinging your leg over is the best way. Once
those babies are adjusted correctly they can make for some VERY comfortable
riding.
