I have done a little searching, but so far I have not been able to find a passenger backrest for the Tenere. Any bodt come across anything?
MY wife says I need to get one right away. And when the wife tells me that I must buy farkles for my bike, I hate to disappoint her, or make her wait. Credit card is ready!!!!

Here's what I did to make my wife happy. I bought a Givi E260 top case in raven black that comes with a soft pad for her back. It also has a quick release so I can pop it off when she doesn't go with me. It's also narrow enough so that my OEM side cases will still open with it on. We decided to go this route so she can use the top case for her purse, hair dryer, etc. ::012:: It was cheaper than some of the backrests I've seen out there now that they make.

Old Givi E46 here, but yeah, works as a backrest with the bonus of being able to hold stuff. It's lightweight and goes on and off in a jiffy.
Good thing the Givi top case comes off in a jiffy because the OEM paniers are just a little shy of opening with it on.
