Sissybar/backrest info (from sidecar pics)

I really don't know what thickness maybe 1/8? I took a piece of an old rack I had lying around and matched up the thickness. I picked up a 6x10 scrap ss plate the guy at the shop charged me 10.00. he cut up a couple of pieces but I decided no to use them, they were too small. once I had my pieces cut and drilled I then installed them on the back rest first good and tight then I installed it on the rack. then I cranked on the bolts and let them bend the ss into its final position. a few drops of Loctite and the job was done. it sounds simple but it took me most of the weekend. it took me two hrs just to buff out most of the tool marks on the plates alone. pw
