I'm confused. The top case comes as standard with a backrest.

Thanks Casbar - good idea.
Hammo, are you talking of a riders seat backrest, a top box back rest or indeed are you taking of pillion armrests?

As has been said the easiest approach is a topbox as they come with a back rest as standard and it gives useful extra storage
