Default Back Rest Question

I have ordered my bike with a low backrest but while perusing the forums I found what I would really like.

SpeedsterX has the perfect one on his Deuce.

As I am also having the factory Bobtail guard fitted does anyone know if I can use the
deuce one on my 883 Custom (or can it be modified to fit in someway) or does
anyone know of an aftermarket backrest that is the same and will fit the bike.
Assistance appreciated.
cheers

Default RE: Back Rest Question

I can't tell by the one picture that he has of it, but it kinda looks like mine. Mine is a "HaulenAss" Sissy bar or backrest as you call it. It follows the curvature of the fender perfectly, and mounts thoughs the stock seat mounting holes so it doen't clutter up the bike/fenders. I think you can get it for $200 or slightly under. These are sold through an e-bay seller or directly through HaulenAss' web site. I've got a more close up picture on my computer at home, but you can check out the pics of mine....
