Default Help sourcing parts for pillion seat for Rocker C

Hi there
I'm desperate for some help....

I've been trying for some time to source the pillion seat set up for my Rocker C with no luck...
The parts I'm trying to source are:
53935-08 Harley Davidson Touring System Strut Kit
53957-08 Harley Davidson FXCW Solo Luggage Rack
52959-08 Harley Davidson Passenger Pillion for FXCW Models
52804-08 Sissy Bar
51782-07 Back Rest Pad

The problem is that these parts have apparently been discontinued by Harley Davidson.
I have contacted Harley dealers here in Australia and there is no stock and they say they cannot get them.
I have tried to contact Harley dealers in both the USA and UK and they wont talk to me because of the Distribution restriction order from Harley Davidson...
I have tried to contact Harley Davidson head office in Australia to see if they will help and they won't even return my calls...

Can anyone advise what to do next???

Surely in a situation like this for a bike that only a few years old there must be a solution or someone must have stock of these???

Any help or advise would be appreciated...

Thanks...

Assume you've tried independent Harley dealers and Ebay, if not try them, another option but it'll be a pricey way to go is a Heartland kit, they do an accessory kit that has what your after that fits onto their rear fender conversions.

Are you willing to pay international shipping if someone in 'Murica can help you find the parts from a dealer? I can stop by one of my local ones today and see what happens. They will search stock from around the country and not just their stores.

Magna I dont really want to do the Heartland conversion...
I've checked ebay here in Australia, US and UK and came up empty....
Ive tried the US dealers I can find online from here and just the standard response of we cant help you in Australia....
I don't know who the independent Harley dealers are in the US....
Can you suggest any I could try???

Thanks....

No problem. Just keep in mind you'll probably have no warranty support if something should happen. I mean, they're solid non mechanical parts, so it's not like a lot should fail, but besides the fact that they're from another country, if HD isn't making them, then they can't very well replace them. Just thought I'd mention that, in case it matters to you.

No that doesn't matter.
I've purchased parts from overseas many times...
In the past I've restored a old Triumph Bonneville and a 1951 Norton Dominator.... I got all those parts from the UK....
I also restored a 67 mustang... I imported the car then got the parts from the US...
They're just bolt on bits... not too much can go wrong...

You can add them to your cart, but whether or not they really have them, who knows.

Don't know if this item is still avail: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=854358&styleid=9

Google Harley and then the part number you are looking for
