Hello all.
Its been confirmed my bike has a long-haul seat on it. Now... don't laugh, but I am looking for at least a good used riders backrest for it. Anyone have any leads? (I'm in the USA)
Someone told me Corbin makes one that will fit the Triumph L.H. seat, but found nothing on their website.
Can anyone here confirm if this is in fact true? Or are there any other manufacturer's that supply similar? TIA, J-

If it's any help I am pretty sure that Rocket 3 one fits, not the latest model though.

UPDATE; I just ordered one from a company in Ohio called Utopia backrest's. Handmade in the USA! $225.00 I am a happy camper :)
Utopia, 1-888-343-3320 or just visit their website, very easy to order.
I'll post a review once I receive it.
Thanks again! J-

I got it! It looks great and came exactly when they said it would be here!
Problem has been, having a bit of a tough time getting passenger seat bolt out of the rear fender. Then I realized the riders-backrest is a quick detach.... but having problems getting it off. Soon as I do I will report my review!! TY

If anyone here can give me any pointers on how this riders-backrest pops off it would be greatly appreciated! And, yes. I unlocked it first w/the key, just can't seem to get it to move off. TY!

there is no key for the riders backrest it is bolted from underneath, do you mean the passengers backrest and rack, if so when its unlocked push the two sliders on the either side and give it are good yank it will pop up.

Right next to the lock, on the outside is a long sliding knob. Another on opposite side.
Slide them backward while lifting the backrest (& luggage carrier if equipped)

 
The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination! John 3:16

TY! My wife and I worked on the 'Bird saturday. Got my new Utopia riders backrest exactly when they said it would arrive! Very well built and easy to install.
The hardest part was getting passenger backrest/rear rack off, took the both of us to get it off.
Installing the riders backrest was pretty straightforward, with clear instructions. Back rest is adjustable for rider, and tilts forward for ease of passenger getting on/off bike. I had to order a Motion Pro 5mm ball-end allen wrench to remove seats rear bolt, as it was worn and almost stripped. Pull the seat, unbolt the rubber block, and the Utopia reiders backrest fit right in there. Looks great!
Now I noticed when the seat was off the air filter was pretty dirty, so I ordered a new air filter, oil filter and new rear seat bolt, just waiting on them to arrive so I can take her for a spin with my new backrest installed!
When I do get her back together and take her for a test ride (still waiting on filters and new bolt), I'll report back on my thoughts, but I'm sure I will love it! #RideSafe

Hello again fellow riders! Sorry for the long delay, had family issues that severly delayed any fun time. BUT...
I Highly reccomend Utopia's riders backrest! Wow, what a difference it makes for me. I feel more planted, and its way better on my back. I need to fiddle with a minor adustment but otherwise, makes my awesome T'bird more comfortable to ride. I can not wait to get to take her on a nice long ride.
Def worth the $!

Ride Safe all!
