It's a Rentec I have on mine m8, got it on good auld eBay for a bargain price.
Don't take the missus on the back that often but it came in handy a couple of years ago when we toured the NW of Scotland.
Pic at Ullapool harbour:-
Before we left, ladden down quite heavily!!:-
The grabrail takes about 5 mins to fit and remove which is handy. Just lift the pillion seat, line up and two bolts at the front hold it on, then the lockset under the seat utilises its bolts to secure it at the back.
I actually think there is one for sale on eBay just now.

I only have the rear pillion seat and grabrail fitted if I plan to take someone on the back, which really isn't very often, maybe half a dozen times a year at the most. Rest of the time I just have the seat cowl fitted.
We tried those love handle thingies before but the problem with those we found, was that under any sort of moderate to heavy braking, the pillion ends up sliding forward into me, which shifts a fair bit of wait forward and upsets the entire handling of the bike - not good!!!. At least with a grab rail the pillion can brace either forward or backwards depending if the bike is accelerating or braking.
Another thing we found that helped was to buy a roll of that stuff you can see on the rear seat in the pic above. The missus cut a piece to fit and then all that was needed was a long piece of elastic sewn into it underneath and bobs yer uncle - a home made Triboseat. :thumbup
