Does anyone know of a good backrest for the passenger. I have a 00 RS and my wife would like a backrest. I haven't found any yet and thought I would try asking here (for the first time) Thanks in advance!

The Triumph topbox has a backrest pad. The topbox requires the rear rack. Nearly $800. Try ebay.

I have a Corbin seat and backrest. My wife loves it. about $500.

I have the Triumph topbox set-up. The backpad is extra but goes well with the topbox. The wife won't travel on the bike without the topbox, and she finds it quite comfortable, except for the handgrips on the rack. She usually hangs on to my waist.

The best thing about the topbox setup is that it will store (and lock) both your full face helmets, gloves, etc. when you and the misses go to the restaurant or other venue.

I use a Givi topbox with a backpad. If you already have the factory cargo rack, you can get a decent sized Givi box and pad for ~$200. If you don't have the rack, it will be considerably more expensive.
