    You can buy a backrest from Utopia but you have to cut the hole in your seat to install it. Beginning in 2014 the stock seats have holes in them for mounting BRP backrests. The newer seat will fit your 13 so getting one from someone is an option

    Utopia makes a great aftermarket option for you.
    (But getting a newer seat, and BRP's backrest is always possible also!)

    You can also look for a 2014+ stock seat on the "For Sale" section where many have bought an aftermarket seat and have their old one collecting dust.

    Default Backrest instructions

    I have the Utopia backrest on my bike. If you go to the Utopia website, they have instructions on installing the seat with photos.
