Watch eBay for these; but a warning that the prices are pretty high. I think the last short backrest I saw sold for over $200.

IF you can find them, the part numbers are

Seat Rail 52687-97

Tall Backrest Pad 52827-97

There was also a short pad, but it didn't offer much in comfort or support


Here is a picture of what these look like. I believe its teh sam set-up that GeaorgiaGirl uses..

The drivers seat rails are still available from Harley. The pads, both short and tall, are no longer available thru Harley. New short pads are available on eBay for $160. Used tall pads have been going from about $275 - $400 on eBay.
