I fitted mine with one from Wunderlich in Germany. I also ordered and fitted the luggage rack and rear pannier crash bars at the same time. All very easy.
 
If you’re talking about a rider backrest and not passenger, utopia has a good reputation. You could go full seat replacement and get a Corbin, but you’re in for over a grand that way.

I’m not sure who else makes a rider backrest right now, so you’re really choosing between just a couple things.

I have the utopia rider backrest on my R18B and I love it. I think it looks dorky, and I really prefer the looks of the bike with no backrest, but the quality of life improvements with that thing are vast. the backrest is super adjustable, too, and easy to do in the field. ride for a few hours with it in one position, then at the next break, switch it up a little for a whole new lease on life.
