Using stock seat?.

Check out Firehousecustoms or the Kuryakyns website (part #8987). They both make stand alone backrests.

I have the Firehousecustoms and it worked well except that it pushed me forward about 3/4-1". It's not adjustable and I thought about trying to bend it to fit me better but decided against it. Instead I bit the bullet bought the whole Mustang setup, Seat/backrest/pillion.

I believe Firehousecustoms has a trial period during which you can return it if you don't like it. If you're just looking for a backrest it's probably the least expensive option.
