Default Phipps Rocker Seat and Backrest

I have seen that some members have put a backrest on a Phipps Rocker seat. Anyone know how it was done and what backrest was modified? I know Rocker_C did it and it looks good. I am about to get a new seat and if I can get a backrest on a Phipps, I will get one of his. Thanks for the help!!!

I looked at his seats before getting a Danny Gray for $300 on ebay.
I like how the DG flairs out to support more of your upper thighs and butt instead of the Phipps Rocker seat design.
My 73 year old buddy was recently saying he wished the seat on his American Iron horse was made more like my DG for riding instead of just the slim look AIH went with.
