Thanks Scott!! You need to find two parts. THe first is a Springer Seat Rail which is part #152687-97. I found mine on eBay. Supposedly it's an out of production part, but several people on the forum have had luck finding at www.zanottimotor.com. Then you have your choice of a couple of different backrests from Harley. I have the high back rest - there is also a shorter one. THe part number for that is 52827-97. Easy installation. The springer seat rail swaps out for the stock Deluxe rail. Hope this helps.

CJ

That is nice indeed. And are those C&C bags? How do you like them? Mine have proven to be great. Same ones. I liked the braided trim. Never saw it elsewhere 'till your bike. I've now had 'em two yrs. and no trouble. I was concerned the braiding might detach when weathered. Well weathered, no problems.

Dastark-

Thanks for your comments about my bike! The saddlebags are from Custom Classic Saddlebags. Just put them on over the winter, so haven't got a chance to expose them to the rain yet!
