Default Back rest
Looking to get a bigger back rest for my '06 Dyna to replace the mini that came with it. Don't want a crazy big sissy bar, just a higher one that fits in the factory hardware. Can't find anything online. Any suggestions ?

I'm confused

You looking for a bigger back rest (pad) - or a (somewhat) taller sissy bar - or both

If sissy bar - define taller..., and do you want it in chrome.., or black

Looking for something bigger / taller with a bigger pad. You know, something more traditional maybe between a foot or two high with a nice backrest pad. Can't seem to find anything online.

Looks like there is very limited aftermarket stuff for Harley's, is that so they can force you to buy their overpriced junk ?

Check this out from the forum classified. It is a steal and you can sell the luggage rack. Not sure of fitment as it is from a Switchback. Worth a look.
Good luck!

Both of these from the HD site "shop for your Bike". Sissy bar p/n 52754-04 and a good curved pad for the sissy bar is Smooth Bucket Pass. backrest pad p/n 51132-98. These are Harley parts designed to fit the square tube sissy bar side plates. I also installed the Sundowner seat when the wife and I rode long distances on the 02 FXD.
