Default backrest

Does anyone make a backrest for the driver that will attach to the passenger backrest? An easy on/easy off type is what I need. Has anyone ever seen one like that?

I've never seen one commercially available. I just made my own. It's fully adjustable and it cost me about $11. I took it on it's maiden voyage last weekend... 750 miles in 2 days. It worked great.

Tombstone Bag by Kuryiakian. Acts as a backrest. Ties to passenger backrest. There are other bags too.

I second the Bikers Friend post. I LOVE mine. Comes with two lumbar supports, one solid and one mesh for rainy weather. It installs and removes in seconds and holds a lot of crap. Worth every penny.

the lazy rider is great for the money =looking at the pic i'd suggest the small with the bike you have-mines a street bob and the large seems to be pretty tight fit -but at lazy rider they said try it and if not happy send back and trade for small-so thats cool
