I've looked at backrests from other bikes, but none are wide enough. The seat pan on mine is 13" wide where I need to mount it.

That one had to be bent wider too. And it had to be bent below the pad mounting so that the pad would still fit.

Well, here's my backrest. It consists of a folded park chair, a Jordache carry bag stuffed with a pillow and a large towel of required bulk. Comfortable as hell. I just lay back with all my weight, I'm well supported and and I'm at a comfortable angle so my back doesn't take a beating. I've had this for a while, but I intended to do something else. Today I looked at the possibility of reversing the mounting brackets on the tourpak. It would work quite well, but decided against it. The pad and frame I was trying to build but had to put on hold because of my back, is still on hold because my back is still a mess. But after riding for a while today and enjoying my pillow so much, I have decided this is it.

Oh man! I know where you're at blu ! I ruined myself pulling off a rusted on swingarm. I've had to work as mindfully as possible, since. If ya have a brace, wear it for support while working. I got one afterwards and it has helped me, quite a bit. You probably already do since, you say you've been telling your DR for so long.
If the pillow keeps your back more content, keep it there !
