Have you checked out the SmoothSpyder Dual-Mode GS/RS/ST Backrest 2008-2016 from Jim @ SmoothSpyder??

Not the cheapest on the block, but you do tend to get what you pay for with these things! Besides, they're fairly easy to fit; very versatile, especially if you only occasionally carry a Pillion; and IMHO, well worth the investment!

Awesom product, Great guy . I went on trip to get this from Smoothspyder Himself & southernmost point Key west along the way Had just little difficultly with the radio on STL. Antenna cable or ground, maybe both were in the way. Sorry was back in 2015 & I barely got to watch (tight lil space back there), still np just something to note. Did I mention awesome product? Unexpected bonus it would hold small flag D594F6EF-BCCF-4C57-A0D9-5A7859CD9CA9.jpg
Small dowel fit between the cross bolt& pad worked for me.

Thank you both, but I was hoping to find something in Canada from someone who just no longer needs theirs, if possible! The SmoothSpyder backrest looks awesome (and versatile!), but he's also not shipping to Canada right now. It's also a little out of my price range, for this year, at least.
Passenger backrest that works with stock seat of 2013 ST
