Does this item exist?
I have a Wide Glide that I want to add a back support for myself.
The seat I have is comfortable so I don't want to purchase a seat that has the back rest slot in it ( and the expense)
I was thinking on making a bracket similar to the sissy bar that I could bolt on and it would allow me to mount a support pillar for me when I ride solo
I have a 2 up seat and there is a pad on the sissy bar for the wife
Before I get started on making something, I just wanted to ask if something like this existed
The picture below is a side view of the seat I will be using. The picture on my signature is the previous seat and I am not using that one.
Thanks

That is what I have in mind. Something removable that I can use only on long rides
Let me see what I can design, I have tubing benders and access to a lathe and Mill
If I can make it happen without it looking too bulky or like it shouldn't be there, I will post up some pictures but it will be a couple weeks or so before I can start

I'm thinking, (debateable) if maybe you can reverse the detachable plates and that would put the back rest up to the driver then turn the pad around. I know it wouldn't work without modification. It's just a thought. My bike is put away for the winter so I can't look at it at the moment.
Good luck,
Tim

Check out Protac, mine cost $85.

I bought one for my Wife's Softail, decided to put it on my 07 FXD.
I just flipped the brackets and drilled to bottom open so it was fully adjustable, I even drilled and put in set screws to lock it in place and keep someone from stealing it.
Make long rides (and short rides) way comfortable.
