Default Variable passenger rest mounting?

Hi My recently purchased 2009 FXDB has the lowest sissy bar on the market, which will be shortly raised up when the new taller one arrives. My issue is however that the mounting screw wide on the new wider backrest is wider than that on the standard backrest. Also on the taller sissy bars there does not seem to be any method of attahing the backrest in any sort of variable way, to allow adjustment to ensure the back rest is in the perfect spot. Is there varaible mounting kit or similar that allows the back rest to be mounted anywhere inside the height of the sissy bar? Thanks in advance Tradeon

Completely correct to call me on this, I was keying at 05:00am my time, way too early on a Sunday morning.

The backrest I have is this one
http://www.customchrome.net/icatalog...aspx?sku=31905. Which states now that I am looking at it that it needs a Bantam™ Sissy Bar Upright.

What I am trying to do is find some mounts which will let me mount the pad at any hieght on a standard sissy bar.

Sorry for the confusing request.

Have you purchased this pad yet? I might be able to save a dollar or two.
I will check tomorrow to see if I can find where I 'stored' it. Shipping might be another problem.

Yes I have the pad already. What I actually seek is a way of "fixing" this to the sissy bar, that allows me to mount it whatever hight I like on the sissy bar. I have seen some brackets on a website somewhere but couldn't locate them "for sale" anywhere.
