Default Backrest and sissybar

I have a 2016 wide glide. I am trying to find a sissy bar/backrest that will fit my bike without relocating my tail lights and license plate. Preferably a mid size .if anyone knows where I can get one I would appreciate the info. Thanks

Here’s one I’m selling for 150 shipped. Powdercoated gloss black. The luggage rack can be removed. It’s a bolt on so it doesn’t need a relocation kit.

Go with the HD sissy bar and if you are riding with a passenger may I suggest the wide curved pad for pax support. Look on the Harley website under parts for the bike , then follow the prompts.

Here's a suggested backrest from HD, p/n 51640-06 to be used with a Harley sissy bar.

All of the Harley ones I've found require relocating tail lights and license plate. I don't want to do that. Thanks for your reply though.

Op you need a bolt on sissy bar in order to retain your current light/plate setup. There are a lot of aftermarket options out there but I’m pretty sure hd doesn’t offer a bolt on for your bike. I’ve seen a lot of options on eBay.
