You might want to check into this backrest by Kuryakyn.

that is really cool. I'd like to see more pictures of its adjustability so I emailed kuryakyn. I'll keep everyone posted. For the price of it though it may be cheaper to have one made. Lol

That is an install video. toward the end, he accidently pulls it all the way out. So, that looks like exactly what we were saying.

True, but isn't she worth it?

I'm not sure about the passenger backrest, but Corbin seats have backrests that fold forward for the rider. May want to check on that

Has he tried swinging his leg forward to get on? Works for me, and I can even get on with the drivers backrest. Getting off, I stand up, then hop a step away from the bike then pull my leg over.
