Default help 1990 electra glide sissy bar

So I have a 90 electra glide and for the life of me I cannot find a sissy bar with pad for a passenger. Ive been every where even went to harley dealer and they said there was only 1 option and it was discontinued. So maybe tour pack right well I cannot even find mounts for rhe sissy bar or tour pack. Id reall like to get a sissy bar and pad but no luck at all. Also how and where do they bolt up? Pictures would help alot as im all new to this. Thank you

The HD passenger backrest and luggage rack bolts to a big fugly plate. Same thing the tourpack bolts to. PN 53411-86a. #15 in the following link, which I believe is still available from HD. The backrest/luggage rack is getting pretty hard to find. It was probably originally available in the accessory catalog.

This is my glide. I guess my question is can I get a sissy bar only and where would it mount to? Does it mount touching the fender or the outside of it. Im confused lol

You do not have the tour pack plate he is referring to.

That bike is pretty far from a stock 1990 Electra Glide. You are going to have to go custom for something like that.

Here's a thread that talks about installing the later model docking kit on early bikes so you can use later model tour pack racks, backrests, etc.

I "upgraded" to detachable hardware on mine, so I can mount any of those bells and whistles. It's handy, but I think ugly. I really like what HD has done with docking points on the newer bikes.
