RT base model - any good (value) solution for passenger backrest?

[bobatl]

What is a good (value) solution for a passenger backrest for 2022 base model RT ? TIA

No cheap option. You need the rear platform (rack) ($300+) as the base. You can mount an after-market top case or a stand-alone backrest to the rack. I went with a Shad case with backrest pad. Total cost was ~$600.198453

Ray, Thanks for the prompt response & pic.
Close to taking the plunge on a base RT & needed some guidance.
Looks like a rack is a must regardless.
