4 Point+Detach+Backrest+Hardware=$650 WTF!!!
4 Point+Detach+Backrest+Hardware=$650 WTF!!!
Okay planning on taking some pretty long trips this summer with the old lady and I would like to get a detach backrest to make sure she's comfortable. Happy wife = Happy life. Anyway did some pricing on the good old HD Website. I can't believe the F*&%ing price!!!
$239.95 #52610-09 Short Sissy Bar Upright
$199.95 #54205-09 4 Point Docking Hardware
$145.95 #51579-05 Passenger Pad Low Profile
$61.95 #52825-05 Pad Mounting Hardware
$647.80 and God forbid that I might want to add the new Stealth Luggage Rack for another $398.95. Ridiculous!! Anything available in the aftermarket? I did some checking and found a few but nothing that I really fancied.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Yeah, I hear ya. It is flippin incredible what they charge. Yeah, it's great quality and works as advertised, but still!
You can try Chicago HD...just enter the part number and they spit-out a price (usually 10%-20% lower). if you want something else...man...take you pick of aftermarket. Try Eastern Performance...and others.
Good luck.

I feel your pain man. You can buy the HD stuff online and save 20% plus tax from these folks. Who knows they may even throw in shipping if you ask nice enough?

WTF I just bought a set up like that for my 03 and it was $360 for everything. Did they up the price on the stuff for newer bikes?
