1989 flhs
What to remove the tour pack. Not used much. Would like to install a back rest for the wife What harware and sissy bar would fit. Also I would like the pad to match my pillow type seat. Pulled buttons.
Bike has 194K miles. Top end redone and runs great.
Thanks in advance.

It's been done. Try a google search of this forum, like:

If I recall, there are some twinkie parts that can be modified to make work.

1990 FLHS here, owned from new! Your bike didn't have a tourpak when new, so it should be easy to remove it. There are 4 bolts through the floor, the only thing that may trip you up is if a PO has wired it for lights. I installed a late '80s tourpak on my bike and used a qd multi-pin connector, set in the floor, to make removal easy.
I don't recall seeing a suitable H-D Evo backrest in a long time, so you may find you have to adapt one, as Dr H suggests. The original seat cushion is poor, quickly bottoming out your sit-bones, so consider re-upholstering it, as well as your 'new' backrest, to match them and make them more comfortable.

Tour Pak Removal
Thanks for both replies. Removal part isn't an issue. Had already investigated how it's mounted. The back rest is the main issue.
Seat isn't in bad shape does have one button rusted through. I know a great apolster. He recovered my softale seat. It's a LaPera 2up. Was hard as hell. He used several types of foam in the butt area. Made it much more comfortable. Marine vinyl $125.
