'91 Electra Glide looking for a passenger backrest
I have a '91 FLHS that someone previously converted into a Street Glide style bike. I bought a Mustang two up seat so my wife could ride with me and I can't find a backrest for her for the life of me. I have the ability to make my own but I was hoping to find a quick detach type. The oldest I can find is for a '97. Will a backrest for some other model fit on it? Anyone know of anything that would work? Thanks for the help and I hope you guys don't mind if I post this here but the baggers section is crazy and you just get lost in the mix.

Did that bike come with a tour pack? If so, the back rest was bolted to the lid, which would by why you can't find a separate one, and I'm pretty sure there was no quick detach type in '91. I don't recall seeing anything like that anyway. I would think that the one for a '97 would probably fit. Examine the mounting arangement and compare it to what you have. Otherwise, I think you'll have to roll your own.

I bought my FLHS new and they didn't come with a tourpak as standard, although it is obviously simple to fit one. The one I have I got secondhand and is off a mid-80s Glide. So one solution is simply to buy a secondhand tourpak. One from the 80s through to the 90s will fit, especially if you still have the flat platform behind the seat. They are held on by 4 bolts, so virtually quick-release. I have connected up the lights in mine via a quick-release twist-lock connector. I don't think I have ever carried my wife without the tourpak, although I usually ride solo without it. Much easier to carry girly stuff in it than in the saddle-bags!
