The detachable sissy bar upright/backrest requires the addition of a second set of docking hardware closer to the seat. Look at the photo below. It clearly shows the hardware you have (indicated by the number 2) and the hardware you need (indicated by the number 1).

Part number is 53803-06 is for the detachable backrest and it's on page 342 in the 2013 Parts & Accessories Catalog.

I have all three -- detachable Tour-Pak, detachable luggage rack, and detachable backrest. So I'm somewhat familiar with this setup having installed all four docking points (i.e., both sets of hardware) on my bike.

Bear in mind this is for pre-2009 bikes. 2009 and later use the upper shock absorber bolt as a docking point. It's a whole different docking system.

Thanks RP1981. Mine is a 2008. I knew I couldn't be right. You gave me the exact info I needed. Thanks everyone for there input and time.

329.00 for the kit.
About 60.00 for the Deutsch connectors. Probably half that on line.
