Corbin makes what, 2 dozen different backrests? I couldn't identify yours from their website.
OK, a custom job.

Any idea what model or part # that Corbin backrest is?
Did its bolt holes match up with the Ultimate extender bolt holes, or did you have to fabricate?
My wife would also like a larger backrest than the Honda accessory backrest that is now on my bike.

Bought the extender from a member here and it fits without modification. Also the Corbin fits. Has the same bolt pattern as stock seat

I should have this up on Ebay by this Friday the 12th....... if people chose not to go thru Ebay and by thru the board should be able to save $5...which saves me $5 I won't have to pay to Ebay....

Direct copy of the OEM, with the exception of the center hole behind the pad.....

The Corbin people will make to your liking, on this job I didn't like stubby round look on top, so I had them raise to a point. By raising the pad, they had to reinforce the bracket, so it would not flex. All the extra bells and whistles at no cost. You just have to go in person.

Thank you. I'll likely have to get a custom backrest made by a local upholsterer. Corbin will be way too expensive.

Ultimate seat for the F6B can be bought that fits their backrest into the seat. No OEM bracket needed.

Thanks guys,
Rumble bee, If i didn't have the RT to sell first i think i would grab that one, right colour and milage, oh well.

Here's my solution and, no I didn't want a GoldWing either. I figured that if the only way to get the Mrs. or kids on the bike was to make it comfortable (and have lots of room for the "stuff" the Mrs. will buy), I'd better sacrifice some of the great looks/lines and go for function over form.

The rack that supports the case is from Twisted Throttle http://www.twistedthrottle.com/steel...r-honda-f6b-13
Order the mounting hardware from Twisted as well.

The big ass case is from Givi http://www.giviusa.com/givi-products...ck-case-detail
They also sell the backrest for the case.

When I ride by myself I have only the hardware mounts sticking up on the rack. Not for everyone (anyone?) but it'll work for me.

I apologize in advance if I screwed up the links - rookie here.

Schnapps, I'm impressed with the Givi, do you happen to have any side on shots? price is certainly good and i love the clean lines of the mounting.

Rumble bee, you should not have sent me the link to Peter Stevens in Melbourne. They are now preparing to send the bike up to Canberra, I was happy with the price, thanks very much.
