I just received a backrest and luggage rack from Road Styler.com. Will be installing this evening

Not aware of a standalone rider back rest (someone else may be). Russell Day Long and Corbin seats have the option, but no idea if they would fit or if they'd sell it to you without the seat.

Is that gloss black you went with for color?

Yes, I went with the gloss black.
Utopia has a rider backrest that others on the forum speak highly of
Is there one that is removable?
I've not seen anything that doesn't require some bolting in

Are they quick and easy to attach and remove? Would love something with a quick release handle or something
One bolt to remove the seat. Two bolts to remove the strap. Those bolts attach the backrest mount. Seat goes back on. Couple bolts to attach the actual backrest. 15 mins of a job, probably. Less if you’re not doing it with a beer in one hand.
