I just ordered a hepco & becker rear alurack, which looks to be the perfect size and shape to have a small backrest stuck to it. See: http://www.motomachines.com/Rear-Rack--H..._3313.html

For something even more understated, Fehling makes a similar but smaller rear rack: http://www.bs-motoparts.com/en/luggage/l...4903-0.htm

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum. I just saw this post and just wanted to say that I will be making a nice clean removable backrest for my 2014 cb1100. I have the black bike, so I will be getting it painted either gloss black, matt black, or black textured powder coat.

I will post pictures when done for sure.

ryan, that was about a year ago (3/21/2015). I believe he said he made himself one prototype, but at this point wasn't making any more.

I have this one. I like that it is easily removed as I don't really like the lines, but the girls sure like having it for two-up!

As Rocket said you can kill two birds with one stone by replacing your uncomfortable stock seat with a Corbin seat. They come with a slot to enable you to insert a passenger back rest. If you watch ebay you can pick up a Corbin back rest for 50-60 bucks. I picked one up just like new a couple months ago on ebay for way less than half of what they sell new for. If you request Corbin to include a rider's backrest slot on your seat you can also use the passenger backrest as a rider's backrest.Banana

I installed a Hepco and Becker luggage rack. Seems like I should be able to find a universal backrest to attach to the part that loops upward but haven't seen anything online.

Good luck with that. I've been searching the 'net for a backrest pad to fit my H&B rack. No luck in the past year or so. I figure I'll have my upholstery guy make one up next time I take him a seat to recover.

If you happen to run across one, let me know!
