This is a corbin seat with a removable backrest. The bike is a 98, but you can get the idea.

If you just want a backrest with your stock seat try http://firehousecustoms.com/index.htm

If you like the looks of your stock seat try a Mustang.
It will sit about an inch high than the stock seat but it's all day comfort with no numb butt.
This is the Wide Vintage Solo 17 1/2" wide (they also make one 15" wide)
If I did it again I'd try the 15" wide one (and I'm 205 lbs.)

The backrest will adjust up and down

You can get a large rear pad for the wife to ride on

A a skinny one for looks
