Default Freewheeler Stock Sissybar/pad question

I'm making a hand tooled seat and passenger backrest for my Freewheeler for when I collect it in September. I have done all the designs and templates except on the rear of the passenger pad above the top of the sissy bar. The design is done but I need to check available area.

Please could someone with the stock set-up give me the measurement from the top centre screw (on the triangular bracket plate) to the top of the sissy bar, and another measure from the top of the sissybar to the top centre crease of the pad rear.

I can then work out the space I have available.

Appreciate the help.

Phil

Phil, here's a picture of the back of my passenger backrest. Hopefully it will help you some. Joan

This is spot on Thank you.

I have completed the design work and can now start tooling.

Love the Amber Whisky on your Freewheeler.
