backrest

All, I have a 1985 FLTC and I removed the tour pak and the chrome rack is still on. Is there a place that I can get a back rest (sissy bar) for this bike. I don't run it with the tour pak ever.

I just sold a backrest to another fella on an evo facebook group. Would have been *glad* to trade it for a tour pack! ;-)

Ok never mind then. Corbin touring seats have a place to plug a backrest into them. Pretty handy

contact Mustang and ask if they can add the piece for the rear backrest to your seat.

That's where I would start. Corbin and Mustang still list seats for our older bikes. There was a kit for installing a passenger backrest on these bikes, I'm pretty sure we had an enquiry only a short while ago. Finding one may be possible, but just how likely that is I cannot be sure!

Another possibility is to investigate installing a later model qd tourpak rack, which can then be adapted to use a backrest. That hardware is more readily available. We have recent threads on installing the qd kit.
