Looks the the original poster has gotten his wish of that Ryker backrest!
at 76 years old a drivers back rest is something i really need
I have a 75 year old back rest but she won't ride with me all the time. Can't do Sport mode with her anyway.
the back rest is important to us eldery riders
Wow what did you do? There are plenty of us who would love ❤️ to install that driver backrest on a 2 up. Please let us know.
Can-Am has a new product - a riders backrest.

There is a new driver back rest out for 2 up riders. Slingmods just came out with it. Too late for me this riding season but for you warm weather riders, this may be just what you need.

This won't work "bolt on" if you have the Rally though due to the splash guard. You will either have to take the splashguard off or cut a major hole in it. I actually ordered this as soon as it went live and will be returning it since I didn't want to modify the splashguard. I really appreciate slingmods's efforts to make aftermarket parts, but they should have disclosed this in the video and product page.
I have the driver and passenger comfort seats as well. It would work with the driver comfort seat, but the backrest would be very tight with the passenger comfort seat since it is shaped differently than the normal passenger seat.
I'll modify my splashguard. Its a lot easier to do that instead of waiting for someone to come up with one that works across all of them .
It also does not work if you have the BRP saddle bag mounted. The Slingmods backrest uses the same holes for mounting. I am returning mine also.
Slingmods stubbornly refuses to admit the new two-up backrest won't fit the Rally because of what Planters49 mentioned above. I had installed the plastic rally inner fender on my ACE 900 (can't remember why) and there is no way the installatlion can be done. Words to the wise!
All my riding gear has body armor in the back ... i have no issues leaning against my Linq 21 top case ... the same applies with the passenger comfort seat fitted. Everybody has different riding ergonomics, what works for one may not work for another.
