I don't think you'll find anything that he'd like the looks of. A backrest (especially an adjustable) has got to have some sort of receptacle, mounted firmly. All the HD and aftermarket rests use large ugly metal pedestals to accept the post of the rest....and they're meant to be covered by a slotted 2-up seat. The only other option is buying a seat with a socket and receptacle built into the seat pan, like the Mustangs.
