Cool

If you check out the Harley parts catalog, there are several listed, both the pad and bar.

I was looking at Ginz myself but ended up making mine, Finally have the pad on and very happy with it. Always get alot of looks and compliments. I fit it to my quick release brackets so It can go on and off and I can remove the pad if I want. Give it a shot and see what you can do.

Hey there Pop, Thanks.......No welding needed, just all bending and some grinding. Then off for Chroming. The frame of the Backpad I made out of Ply with the clips and some foam. Then I went to a guy I found down at the Seaside HOG rally in Seaside Heights, NJ. His name is Joe and his company is ShoreFireProducts. He does a great job and was actually down there as a Vendor making covers for Hard Bag Lids. Here is a link to his Site...... www.shorefireproducts.com

He's out of Tom's River, NJ. If you contact him, Tell him Scott, the guy with the big Sissy Bar Pad sent ya, LOL. Maybe I'll even post a link to his site in the bagger section.

I'll be honest G......I did this out of #6 Rebar from a jobsite. I bent it up and fit it, and when my Iron Worker buddy saw it, he wanted to do me a favor and have it chromed for me. He never charged me, a Friend of a Friend kinda favor. I was working in Greenwich, CT. I'll reach out and see if I can find out some info. If I get it, I will post here.
