Installed a Pirates Lair Stealth backrest on the RS, this weekend. Been in touch with Jerry, for a while, as he's been trying to bring this to market for quite some time. As promised, he contacted me with news that they were finally available. My wife is only comfortable on the bike if she has some back support, which is the main reason I bought the BMW Softbag 3. While serving the purpose, it somewhat crowds the seating area due to the upright and flat padded front. The Stealth backrest pad is curved with a slight angle, which provides more room and better support. No functionality is lost with this. When not running the backrest, the softbag installs in the same way as before, engaging the pocket in it's base and using the same straps. With the backrest in place you can still mount the bag, but it sits on the rack, without engaging the pocket.
Definitely upped the comfort level for my wife, which makes it a win for both of us
