Default Sissy Bar Pads for Top Hand Bar

Anyone find a good source for a nice looking quality pad for the TH sissy bar? I see some cheap stuff on Amazon and several $60+ pads from other vendors that don't look as if they'll fit the taper of the bar. I don't mind paying some $ for something which looks good since the TH bar is such a quality piece. Thanks.

You can do what I did. I made my own backing out of high density plastic and then sent it out to get covered.

I made my pattern out of cardboard

Transferred it to the high density plastic

Figured out my mounting system which are emt clamps and well nuts

Then sent it out to sick saddles to have it covered. They also made my seats so it match perfectly

That matching sissy bar pad is really nice! If you were selling them I'd buy one to fit my bar.
