The back rest for the top box (which doesn't come with the box, btw, but
is an extra $25 or so) isn't that great, according to my wife.  Granted,
it is better than just leaning against the box.  

As to whether the backrest will fit with the box, as long as the
backrest isn't wider than the seat, and doesn't extend farther back than
the seat, I'm pretty sure it will.  The front edge of the topbox is
pretty much flush with the back edge of the (stock) seat.  I'll upload a
pic here in a sec to demonstrate.

Laters,
Brian
