Are you talking about the removable harley backrest? If so i got mine from my HD dealer. It wasnt cheap but it goes on and off in seconds. It leaves nothing behind and you can even buy a kit of 4 chrome "caps" that are magnetic. They cover up the mounts that hold the backrest in place.

Available in different heights.I'd recommend something tall enough to put a t bag on later if you do some travelling. Let me know if you want more info.

cheers.

This is a great lesson for everyone, if you remotely care about any of your passengers you'll only ride two-up with a backrest. Never assume that your passenger is holding on as tight as you hope the are....just a thought

I bought my Sissy bar fromKhrome Werks http://www.khromewerks.com/ I have the Bantom size it works great for me.much cheaper than the stealers.. due to the 200mm on your bike make sure you get the 11" wide one. i think they offer the quick release as well...
