Looks like you are in uncharted territory , my friend . I have a 1995 RK. I found a mount for a tourpak. but not a backrest. God Bless. Ride Safe.

my 85 FL has a separate back rest. maybe look for an 85 hand rail and back rest. I think late model shovels would have the same setup. the part # is 91583-84.

So while those backrest/racks were sold in the day you are looking for a needle in a haystack, sad to say! Also the habit of wanting to routinely remove or add stuff such as tourpaks and separate backrests is a relatively recent thing. Unfortunately you may find you have a long wait until suitable secondhand parts turn up, or need to get inventive.

If you can weld it would be pretty easy to build it, some strap and square or rectangular tube is all it was made of. It bolted to the same bolts that the TP bolted to.

That being said It wasn't very hard to retro fit late model 98-07 stuff to my 89. Most of the problem was spacing cause the later frame were wider where the rear fender goes than ours.
