Default Ridged Switchback side plates?

I'm trying to find a backrest set up for my FLD but not a big fan of detachable side plates. Any one know if there is a set of rigid plates that might modify easily to fit?.. Standard issue dyna glide plates seen like they should work ??? I'm heading to the 110th anniversary party in Milwaukee and need to figure out a backrest set up ASAP. Please help

Not sure how how much this will help but, my detachable side plates from my street bob would not fit on the wife's FLD. They're close but the risers are different.

as far as i know the FLD is stand alone in the dyna family so you would have to custom make something as i havent seen any rigid plates available from any other manufacturers yet
