2011 R1200RT rider backrest options with aftermarket seat

I'm trying to figure out how to have a backrest with an aftermarket seat on the bike. The Bakup backrest only works with the stock seats according to the manufacturer.
Is there an option for me with an aftermarket seat?

The Corbin requires the back seat to be changed to add the backrest and I can't put a Corbin in the back for the wife.

Options???

Thanks!

FYI- I have a 2009 R1200RT that has the Sargeant Low seat and I am using the Bakup backrest with no problems.
The backrest mounts between the seats and is a bit flexible, in that you can move forward or backward some when installing the seat.
There is also some adjustments that raise or lower, and move the backrest position forward or backward slightly.
I enjoy the Bakup. Hit the cruise, turn up the music, lean back, stretch the legs forward, and the miles just click off!

No idea if you already HAVE the aftermarket seat, but if you're looking for a different one, my 07 has a Russell Day Long with included back rest that easily slips on/off as needed. It would work with the stock passenger seat.
