Default Back rest idea for a deuce
I just picked up a 2002 deuce with performance machine fat tail rear end. I primarily ride one up but occasionally my girlfriend comes to visit and we like to saddle up together. I'm trying to find some kind of a backrest for this set up just give her a little sense of security. As you can see there's no attachment points on the side strut, I was hoping to find something that can go under the seat mount.

A picture of the fender struts from the side would help with people coming up with suggestions.

maybe the harley offering for the deuce backrest? it mounts under the seat. Might be able to modify it to work with your custom fender?
