The quality of the outside portion of the backrest was great. What I didn't expect was the wood backing causing me issue. This was not a re-wrap. I paid extra to have the backrest made without sending my backrest. When I went to install, the screw for the old backrest was larger then the new backrest. When I went to back it out, it damaged the wood backing. I had to rebuild the new backrest using the old backrest insides which was metal and way more stronger. It worked thankfully. I suggest if you are building without a core, ask for the screw that matches it.
