Here is pic of my retro fit sissy bar and rack. I purchased it new on eBay. $59 dollars free shipping. I am pleased with it but I think I will have the side plates re chromed this winter.

Looks good. It will sure keep your pillion happy.

Cheers

It does look good! And with that new chrome it will look even better!

Looks great, Swartzracer. Is that the carrier and backrest from a Honda Shadow that you were mentioning? Did you make your own brackets to mount it? If so, do you have a pic of the bracket you made? It's always helpful for other owners out there that are looking for backrest options. I think this is the first time a backrest was attached without using a 2013 or 2014 CB1100 carrier rack (or Corbin seat with the built-in). Thnx-

Yes it was originally made for a 2007 honda shadow. I used the brackets that came with them. I just switched the right and left around for the offset bends. I had to trim the brackets to fit and drill one new hole in the bracket. The side plates wouldn't need re chromed if I would not of had to switch them from side to side. The chrome on the back of them is not like the front of them. Everything for $59 bucks is a pretty sweet deal. It took me about 2 hours to make it work. Now that I know how to trim the brackets I could do the job in an hour.

Do you think it would be possible to remove the back rest if wanted & put a givi top case on that rack?

1ate,

I bet you could easily. Mount the Givi mount to the rack and the box to the mount.

Swartzracer.
I really like what you've found and went to the eBay site. They ask for a sub model. Can you tell me which one you used?

I had a Shadow and I did just that: removed the backrest and attached a Givi topbox to the rack. Worked really well.
