Default Back rest for Softail
Can anybody identify this backrest assembly? Do you know who makes it or supplies it? Is this a compilation of HD MOCO parts? I've looked at JP, Dennis kirk, Corbin, Motherwell ... and I can't ID it. I tried looking at HD accessories ... but I can't piece it together.

Thanks much.

That bike must be earlier that 2007. I have been unable to find a short one that will work with 2007 and later FatBoys. Sorry

Thanks Gunny ... saved me some time. I might just weld me one up and buy the HD sideplates ... I'll just have to powder coat the rails.
