Anybody know where I can find a backrest for a tour pak that is just a pad without the arm rest things? I could sure use one.

Hogcowboy,the back rest on a tour pack is the tour pack itself. Then there is just a pad attached to the lidin the older models,in the newer model, at least on my 2012, the pad is attached to the tour pac itself and doesn't lift up with the lid anymore, Here is a link for just the pad and which attachs to the tour pac directly:

This is as good as I've ever seen. There might be something else availabale but I'm not aware of it. The bigger black piece that always seems to come with arm rest...well I've never seen that with out the arm rest. Notice how on the electraglide classic yuo see the armrest but without speaker,always with the arm rest though.

Looked for one for ya and came up with nothing, they all have arm rests. The only solution I have and can be a good one is to go down to your local upholstery shop and have one custom made. I don't think that it would be that expensive. You will get exactly what you want. Visit two or three places for the best price.

You are only looking at a piece of plywood cut to the size you want and some foam padding and vinyl covering. I'll bet it would be under $100.

Let us know what you do. :icon_thumbsup:

Well I called the company that made the seat I have and asked them what they could do. Turns out I'm not the first that wanted something like that. So they are making one to match my seat. Should look real good then.
