So how can I keep my passenger cool on the back. If I put the wind shield down, my vented jacket will keep me comfortable into the 80s, but how is my passenger staying cool directly behind me?

On really hot days I ride with a water soaked t-shirt. Make sure everyone drinks lots of fluids.
There is not an easy way to keep a passenger cool unfortunately. Both the NT and you act as a wind block creating "dead" air zones that can be uncomfortable. The best suggestion I have is mesh gear that allow them to get some airflow to at least "feel" cooler... Holding an arm out and getting the feeling of a breeze goes a long way in making most passengers think they are cooler, regardless of whether they are or not. A helmet with very good airflow for the passenger is a must as most folks tend to feel hot and uncomfortable in a closed up full face helmet. The biggest issue you can control is getting your passenger gear that fits them properly. A jacket or helmet that is too small will feel too warm...fit your passenger's gear like you would want to be fitted for gear... And keep them, and you, well hydrated....
