I haven't ever seen one,,,you got back pain ?
A common fix Is pull back risers that let you sit up a bit more.
I had a ton of pain when I first got mine,,
The stock seat felt like I had a brick under my tail bone.
A Mustang vintage solo 12.5" wide cured that.
My hands would go numb.
Foam grip wraps added diameter and cured that.
I was getting a sore neck.
I rotated the bars back 1" and cured that.
Proper hydration Is key and I now have a Kidney belt
for long rides,,works great.

Try googling protac on the web. Not at my computer so not sure if that's right but he makes solo backrests for all types of bikes. Need to call him and see if he makes one for your year and model

Just put one on my bike from protac, cost was $140 with shipping. I love it so far, makes a world of difference on a ride.

thanks for your reply. it looks like it attaches to the fender rail, correct. looks similar to one i put on a Springer from Kuryakan. take the factory bolts out and in stall with new longer bolts. is this about right.
