There are some options available but I can only give ideas because I went the expensive Mustang seat route.

When I first got my bike I too needed a backrest. At the time I purchased a Kuryakyn Tombstone bag. It sat on the pass seat and strapped to the bike. It had an internal framework and pressed against the pass back rest. It had several different thickness pads that zipped to the front for length adjustment. They are discontinued but maybe there are some used for sale or something similar.

My wife has an Aero with a two piece seat. She found a backrest, on Amazon I think, that goes between the two seats and attaches to the bottom of the drivers seat. It works and she is happy with it.

Lastly, the more McGiver option. Get a medium gear type bag and pack it tightly with old heavy clothes and strap it to the pass seat. At least it would help till you find something better.

Good luck.

My bike has the OEM one piece, two person seat. I can't attach anything to the "front" seat. Thanks for your response.

Found what? A DRIVER backrest that fits on the OEM two person seat for a VT1100C2?

Can you please share the link.

The only I ever saw that works on Sabre with a stock seat was made by Protac and it hasn't been made for several years.

The one my wife got is just a backrest pad and a formed piece of steel flat bar.

It has held up well for five years and she likes it. There is not much that can go wrong with it. Just secure it good. Our bikes are in a building when not riding, so I am sure that has helped it last.

Honda Sabre 1100?

No, a 750 Aero. I was not aware that the Sabre had a one piece seat. My apologies for the confusion.
