Default Rider/Passenger Backrest

I've used the search function with no luck.

Who makes/sells the backrest that is adjustable so that it can serve as either the rider or passenger backrest? I think it can also have a small luggage rack attached. The base stays stationary while the sissybar and pad rotate aft to cover the passeger and can be rotated forward to work for the rider.

No one that I know of. You might be looking at a Corbin seat. Both the passenger and rider looks the same, but sliding back and forth??

Nope.

This backrest I'm thinking of has a single mounting point under the passenger's toosh, and when there is no passenger, the backrest can be rotated forward. to serve as a rider's backrest. I'm looking like crazy for a picture of the part I'm thinking of. I've seen it on a couple of HD touring bikes (I think there was a green RK on this forum that I am tring to find).

Found it!

Jardine Sissy Bar

As found on DIZ4FUN's RK Custom in the RK photos thread (pg #5).

You have found the end of the internet. Please go back.

Still don't know where to buy one though. Also would be real interested to hear some reviews of it from folks who are using it.

Thanks!

Anyone running one of these? You like it? Any pics of it with the integral luggage rack mounted on a bike?
