Seat with built in sissy bar or back rest?

I have just fitted a single seat for just me riding and have a sundowner for when I take my 15 year old daughter out for a ride. Last time out was about 2 hours & she complained about her back aching holding on to me.

I was wondering if there is a 2 's up seat with an integral back rest or sissy bar that comes off when the seats are changed over by simply undoing one screw.

Sometimes I get home & she is kitted out in her gear waiting for a run out! I don't want to be spending an hour unbolting then bolting stuff back on. It's an '08 model if that helps.

Any ideas & thanks.

There are quick release sissy bar set-ups. Flick of a couple of levers and it's all off. Bit more expensive than the bolt on more permanent type, but just the job for what your are wanting.

The Sundowner is an excellent choice.
Get a quick release cissy bar. Don't know my other half is on the back. She has her hands on her knees and no need to hold on at all unlike a few bikes we have tried without one.

In answer to the OP's question, yes there is.
Do a search on Ebay, don't know if it will fit your model.

Thanks all
Nothing over here re the seat I'll check out the Q/R sissy bars & have a look on USA ebay for an integral set up.
Thanks again.

Found one integral seat on USA ebay but that was for a 70's model. Looks like I may have to go for the quick release sissy bar for her. Before I shell out on new anyone got one of these set up's lying around gathering dust. Rather my money went to an owner than a dealer.

Check here pages 22/66 to 24/66 and find part numbers you need for sideplates,bar,pad,and docking kit then try punching part numbers in ebay search engine.
