All Fatboy's with sissy bar and backrest pad
I have 52754-04 Medalion Style sissy bar and 52347-97 Pad and all the hardware etc... on layaway at local hd shop (almost paid in full.)
52754-04 52347-97
TK353 (Bob) almost has me convinced to go with HaulenAss. That'd be great to save the money and not have to have my tail light relocated. Probably end up costing me considerably less than half what it's going to cost me if I go the route I'm headed now.

No brainer right? Well here's my dilemma... I like the height on the sissy bar I have on layaway and the pad is wide and looks like my stock seat. The HaulenAss sissy bar isn't that high and I'm not sure about the pad?
Here's what I would like...
Any Fatboy owners that have either backrest installed and can post photos and tell me whether they're happy with their choice or wish they had gone the other route?
thanks in advance.

I have the HD low backrest upright and HD fatboy pad. I personally am very happy with mine. I prefer the look & fit of the HD backrest. You don't have to relocate your tailights either. I modified my detachable sideplates to fit around the stock tailight on each side. Took a die grinder and about half and hours time. I have a pic of the sideplate on my photo page. I wasn't happy with the relocation kit.

Beautiful bike man... hey, I can't tell exactly what it is you did. You grinded on the lights near the fender where the bracket fits over them when you're using the backrest?

Actually that looks like the same one I have (on layaway) just a different design on the back... is it the same? Is the plate on the back interchangeable?

I have the same set up you are getting, sorry no photo, I have the HD Fatboy pad sitting on a shelf. I replaced it mainly for one reason. I have three different sissybar bags. none of them fit around the HD Fatboy pad, its to wide. The next thing is you mentioned the stock seat. I would replace it, same look but much better sundowner; I recovered mine in leather and stingray. I also have the HD sidekick leather seat.

on page 3 and 4 they have some different medalions listed you can stick to the back.
