Found the solution to get a Triumph backrest/ dual seat combo for Rocket Roadster rider in Australia.

Part Number: A9708160 US$170 + US$79.13 freight + Aussie$172 for Classic dual seat = Approx $530 Australian ( US $390)

CLASSIC TOURING SEAT - TRIUMPH ROCKET 3 A9708164


Designed with ultimate comfort and style in mind, this seat is the luxury choice for long distance touring. By allowing air flow to the Air Box, channel ducts under the seat ensure the impressive performance of the Rocket III is not compromised in any way
Does not include backrest! Does not fit Rocket 3 Touring.

Arhhhh Bugger!

Just been advised five days after purchase by Bikebandit that Back rest unavailable. Luckily able to cancel order and get a refund on the seat itself from JCS.

Best thing that ever happened, nothing looks worse than a double seat on a Rocket a windshield looks just as bad.

I reckon a Scot in a kilt doing a Marilyn Monroe look alike would beat it hands down

Now that would be a sight for sore eyes some of the good old southern boys down here might like it after all they go to family reunions to pick up on chicks.
By the way Ishrub are you my brother from another mother??????
 
That is a long lost photo of my Great Uncle 'Kiwi' Jack and Molly Merino, an early flame.
He later moved to Australia and became a cattleman, settled down, upgraded and became naturalised.
I keep his memory alive with my avatar.

Now I will get to find out for myself. Picked up a Triumph Rocket Classic/Roadster Touring Seat with adjustable backrest on Aussie ebay for Aust$380 with $30 postage from Brisbane (total US$312). Got the windshield a few weeks ago for a bargain Aust$100 that I will swap over with the clear sports screen come winter.

Remember bad taste runs in the family!
