Default After market back rest for Fat Bob

Has anyone found a backrest that fits a Fat Bob besides the one Harley offers? Want to take my girls for a ride but would feel much more comfortable with a sissy bar and none of the dealers around here have anything in stock.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have been looking at haulen *** backrest. they should have one to fit and they are really nice because they don't need additional hardware and don't use large pieces to cover up your fender. Google them. It should be worth your while..

The Haulen *** setup is nice however they don't make a setup that fits under stock FXDF seat. I ended up buy the HD detachable backrest since I didn't find any options.

The HD minirail is an option .... you just have to "adjust" the uprights slightly with a rubber mallet.

Thanks all, I guess they are still so new that we are limited in our options. Bummer.

There's no excuse for not having more options for the Fat Bob / Wide Glide at this point. The Fat Bob is in its third model year! I ended up having Bar Enterprises (harleyseats.com) make me a King & Queen seat for mine.

I just went ahead and laid down $493 for my sissybar/luggage rack combo. Girlfriend loves it.
