I tried them months ago for the same thing.....they no longer make them or have them in stock.  I finally gave up and fabricated my own mounts that attach at the grab rail mounting points (they look like crap, but work and are hidden by the leather fringe on the seat  ;).  Got the sissy bar for free when I purchased it off ebay (due to the description saying that all the hardware including the mounting brackets came with it....they didn't).  Anyway...I exploreded every possible source I could trying to find ANY available backrest plus mounts and came up empty....all the ones listed on the internet are no longer available....so, you can keep looking on ebay and other auction sites waiting to strike gold or make your own.....

I would be willing to work with my saddlebag mount fabricator on designing one that integrates a backrest and rack similar to the one on customcruisers.com, but I need a template and have had no luck getting one sent to me...I am willing to pay shipping back and forth, but someone needs to get me one to work with....

There's a lot of 2up seats available, however the sissy bar and back rest are a different story.
