Default Quick Detach Backrest Alternative

Does anyone have any recommendations for an "off brand" or discounted place to get a quick detach backrest set up? I don't want to drop $500 for the Harley setup with the brackets mounts and backrest.

the Haulen *** is a really nice back rest too, It's easy on and easy off
and gives passengers a little extra confidence when on the back.
just remember its not a sissybar so for long trips you will probably need the
Harley parts

I searched on here and ebay for the detachable back rest for my Fat Bob for a while. Nothing. Caved in and bought it from Harley. Cost me less than I thought. "Only" $375.

Same thing here. I searched EBay as well and nothing for my 2010. Went into j&p cycle and they had 1 option, non HD and it cost more! I was shocked and asked him to recheck his pricing. Nope that was it. He told me typically aftermarket parts like that are usually cheaper through HD.

That is great. My bike is a 2010 Fat Bob and the parts are a bit different than the 2008-2009. I found plenty of them much cheaper, but could not find my parts that cheap. Had to buy new.

I think you can fit the the Detachable Side Plates,that fit any Dyna 06 to present,part no.

I just bought these off a member for my 11' FXDF he had an 09'the parts catalogue says they fit both(hope i'm right)not sure on the Sissy Bars,but at least it gives you more scope with the detachable sideplates(ebay etc.)
