Pillion seat back - for percieved safety?

[RQ]

Warfox, doesn't look like you are going to get a straight answer to this one. I'm sure I saw a photo of one with a rail in the gallery....... who owns that one?

[RQ]

Pete.L has one, is this what you are looking for ?

Is that a Coke bottle top on your coolant reservoir?
your rail seems very far back, or is that the norm? (Who's norm?)

I've got the rentec sports rack, which is really the same as pete.l's with an extra bit added on. She usually comes out with me and say's it's quite comfortable to use and she feels quite safe. She does struggle to hang on when I give it a handfull but it's good most of the time.
