i have used one under my jacket, without mesh, during some very hot days (110 deg). as long as you keep your zippers and vents open (assuming u have them) it provides some cooling. it helps, but not like an AC.

Backrests - any options?

I have a R1150R with no options. No luggage rack, no passenger handles, no luggage rack plate. I am looking for what options are available for a passenger backrest.

Please let me know if you know of any options.

THanks
