Small Givi topcase with pad and led light, then ditch the saddlebags.

Backrests aren't cheap. Even a Givi made for a scooter, nothing but thin stamped steel and molded plastic will cost around $90+. Pirates-Lair has a really high quality unit with a "fabulous" luggage rack
That costs $395. Add a $40 accessory and his rack can then accommodate a trunk, just not in conjunction with the back-rest. Link below. Most people go with a trunk and the passenger can lean on it if needed. My wife wouldn't ride my bike until I did that.

Are we looking for passenger or driver back-rest?

Years ago there were some posts regarding guys that would go to the junk yard and get old HeadRests from certain cars and modify them to act as backrests. Unfortunately I think that those posts went to the great beyond with the old message board, I know that if you google it you will find some images of other bikes that guys are using them.

I have a phil's rack on my C14 and just mounted the back rest from a silverwing
Like this one: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/givi-tb19-backrest-honda-silverwing-600
I found mine for cheaper (about $58 shipped on the bay)

I bought a 50 dollar JCW trunk, not the greatest to look at but the wife and kids like the security it provides. Pretty much only time it is on the bike is when one of them are, or if I know I will be stopping at a store or something and know I will need the extra capacity.

I made one using Phil's rack a black Mustang headrest, some small scraps of steel, pipe, nuts, stainless steel screws, and a little welding. I will try to attach some pictures tomorrow. The headrest was $10 + about $5 for the other materials.
