Thanks all. Hoping to hear from the dealership this week on what needs to be done. I'll update here.
EmptySea, I actually got the idea from this forum. I can't find the thread, but another user bought the TMS Backrest Sissy Bar w/ Luggage Rack for the Honda Shadow VLX600 (screwed up my bike name earlier, apologies) on Amazon for $50. Looks like it is currently unavailable for sale, but I bet you can find it elsewhere.
As you all know, our selection for rear passenger/luggage options is limited and expensive. I took the brackets for the TMS Backrest to a local fabricator and for $20, they cut new holes and cut off the excess metal to fit around the turn signals. Fit like a glove after that.
I'll add photos when I get the bike back. Very easy and inexpensive way to get a rear seat backrest and a luggage rack on our bikes.
