Passenger needs on RS...

[IWN2RYD]

We plan to become a two Spyder household most likely late this year. (In the process of buying a new home at the moment). Until that happens I want to have a comfortable passenger seat for either of us on our new RS-S.

I really like KewlMetal products and plan to buy their Luggage Rack. (Link). The problem I am having is finding the luggage with the backrest they have in the picture. I have looked and looked. Never finding any GIVi with a backrest at all...

Is this a good idea? Halp! lol...

The backrest pad is an accessory that can be added to many Givi tail bags.

I have been considering the same thing.

We have used a variety of topcases on our two-wheelers over the years, and they provide a real comfortable and sturdy backrest option...plus some great storage space. Givi sells the backrest pad for the topcases separately. I don't know if all their topcases can use this option, but most can. Google "givi backrest pad" for whichever topcase you have in mind.

Thanks fellas... But I am unable to find the armrest type one shown (One piece it seems) in the link I provided above. I did find a good grouping of plain backrest.

That is specifically the one I am trying to locate. The storage space I can figure out from there as the backrest, armrest is the critical component for us...

Looks like maybe a topcase from a Harley, or other cruiser. Why don't you call Matt, and ask him what it came from?

Didn't see an armrest in your link, maybe the one ISCI has?

That looks like a mustage arm rest for a harley tour pak. i modified one to fit on a givi 48, cause my wife didn't like just a pad.

Ah good idea... I want to talk with him about the newer riser they have anyway :thumbup:.

Thanks for all of you help folks!

Thank you all for your help. A little more research and we found a reasonable item to try on fleebay. A flat back luggage with a two padded backrest. We figure we will try it first for an inexpensive trila to at least ryde right away. Figuring this will buy us time so we can see what others have used to find the "One" for us...

Also ordered the Luggage rack from KewlMetal, their Frunk light and fender tip lights...

That will do the trick too...I got a Givi trunk case and Firefly did the hard work for me...the case is great and you can lock it, take it off easily, etc...it will bolt right onto your rack there...

I got the BRP sidebags (hard) and now have the Givi trunk case for helmet and other items...good enough with the luggage stuff for me.

Go with Givi trunk cases...you can't go wrong...they are made very well!

Thanks for the input :thumbup:. We purchased one of the "Fleebay" specials. This way we can try the idea out. And if it is pleasing for the lady I will get the Gviv or something like it.

The plan is... When the wife rides we put the trunk on. When she is not it is off. I am going to have to figure out a quick disconnect system for it...

However I may be making it comfy for me if all of her teasing ends up being fact pps::yikes: something about I get to ryde "B" aka shotgun... nojoke:gaah:

With the TB performance kit and pipes this bike has much more bark than stock. It is amazing what an extra 6-10hp will do for these bikes...

I was going to add my 2 cents worth for your question--but sounds like you have your problem solved. For those with with same question though, Corbin seat with driver & passenger backrests, OR-- Corbin seat with driver backrest and Corbin top trunk with backrest pad attached. This is an expensive option but IMO is the best seat--followed by the Comfort seat. We have used both. The Corbin is on my RTS and the Comfort is on the spouses RS.
