I want to put a driver backrest on my 98 savage to make it alittle more comfy. ANY ideas of how to do that? My thought was to take the passenger backrest and two steel plates and bold them to the 2 bolts on the chrome bar under the driver seat. Will that work? Any ideas accepted! thanks!!  

Rowboat has a point. I had a gym bag tied down. Support for the lower back.. plus room for stuff,

there's a company that makes one (protac IIRC) that makes one, but it's not cheap, Id go with the tail bag on the pillion

This works wonderfully.  It fit's like it was specifically designed for this and it it comfortable.  The dimensions are about 13x10x6 and it is waterproof as well.

Depends on how skilled you are if you want to "back yard bill" or buy one.
The trip I made to the dragon I used a piece of baggage designed to wrap around the passenger seat and sit on your "luggage rack".
I just simply turned it over the passenger seat :




Or you can get nutz and do something like this:

what about building one that has some folding locking mechanism that would function as a backrest or pillion pad.

yeah me too but ended up going with just a solo seat but it would be cool to make the pillion pad/backrest and mechanism all one piece then have it bolt under the solo seat or add some width extenders with it to bolt up with the stock seat also. A feller could corner that market and make a pretty penny.
