Default E-Glide Tour Pac to backrest help needed

I am installling the detatchable tour pack rack and docking hardware on my 1998 Electra Glide Classic. The docking hardware is HD # 53803-06. Is there a detatchable backrest that fits to this docking kit. Thanks, Mike

The detachable back rests I've seen and used had their own docking points forward of the tourpak points. Crazy ain't it.

Mike,
You have to get a seperate docking kit to run a sissy bar. It almost looks like the Tour-Pac one would be enough but the back rest needs a mounting point further up the fender (closer to the seat). The good news is that that kit isn't all that expensive if I recall. It was like $40.00 or close to it..

I finshed the detatchable tour pack. I must buy more docking hardware and a passenger backrest now.

Helpful hint #1 DONT look at the instructions for the docking kit way more confusing than needed...find a pic of your model and go by it.
