Backrest for a Fatboy?
I am looking to change the style of backrest that I currently have on my bike. Right now I have this back rest, but it is to big and gawdy IMO. I am looking for something a lot narrower and in the low to medium range. Does anyone have some pic's (preferably with the stock passenger pillion) of their bike with a backrest similar to what I described, I am just looking for some ideas.
Thanks

I don't know if you can judge from the picture below but here's my backrest with the stock Fatboy seat / passenger pillion:
I have the medium low medallion bar.
PM later this afternoon as a reminder and I'll send you some better pictures from straight on and directly behind.

Good pics Rooke. Looks like we have the exact same setup, including the same luggage rack. I've been very happy with this setup.

Rooke and FB,
Thanks for the pics. That is the kind of look I am going for. Do either of you remember the part number for the back rest and bar? Does that backrest have 1 mounting hole in the top center and a bracket on the bottom?

Your welcome!
It's a great looking setup. Much "tighter look" for the bike than the one you typically see on fatboys.
Here ya go:
Backrest:
51642-06
Fits Low Round Bar Mini-Medallion Style Upright P/N 52877-10 or 51168-10.
The pad attaches with two screws to the sissy bar.
Sissy Bar.....or they refer to them as "Uprights" now :-)
51477-06
Fits '06-later FXST, FXSTB, FXSTS, FLSTFSE2, '07-later FXSTC, FLSTF, FLSTFB, FXSTSSE/2, FLSTSE/2/3 and FLSTSB models with appropriate sideplates. '07-later FXSTC models require separate purchase of Fender Mounted Seat.
