Default Seat Question

Does anyone know where I can either buy or have made a metal grab rail for behind my solo seat similar to the ones on the 50's and 60's Harleys. I'm just wanting the classic look, not function. I'd think mounting something like that on the two seat mounting bolts would work.

Might be able to get on for a spring seat and modify it. There are some at J&P cycles or other places on line. Check ebay since you have to modify it anyway, might as well get it cheap..
