After dicking around for months, Shad has finally told me their 'recomendation' won't work. What a flakey company !
So I still can't find a backrest for the forza 300.

:| Well that's a shame. Shad failed. What exactly did they say wouldn't work?
They have one for the 125 Forza? I saw that right?

Utopia, as I posted earlier: http://www.utpr.com/forza.html makes a really nice backrest (see pic).
I wonder if they would work with you on making a passenger backrest? Are you up for contacting them?

Alternative idea: Have you heard of, or seen or even considered a Biker's Friend Bag with Backrest? Do you have a rear rack it could be mounted on? May work, may not?
Take a look:

Shad originally pointed me to the one for the 125 Forza and told me to buy it. When I asked if it fit a 300 Forza she replied "NO". They are horrible to communicate with often not replying and often letting many days go before a reply. I'm up for anything. I am even considering making my own. I'll check out the links you gave me and thank you so much. I don't have a rack or anything atm. Just wanting a backrest. :-)

Sure.
I understand, customizing can get very frustrating. But in the end, it's usually (?) worth the time, effort, trouble and money(?)
Making your own, now that's cool! If you get it right, the Gang's All Here, they may want one too :D Ca-Ching!

Good luck again

Utopia said their back rest is only for front seat and they don't want to make one. Looks like I'm back to making my own. Really sad for such a popular bike to not have a backrest available for the back seat.

Thanks, I looked at those backrests and they don't seem to offer any safety to keep the rider on the bike. They seem more decorative. I am trying to find a taller one. Thanks !
