No problem.  It's like looking for a needle in a haystack when trying to find sissy bar mounts for Drifters....but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.. ;)  regarding your bags...the saddlebag mounts I sell here and on fleabay for 1500 Drifters might be what you need....check the classifieds for my ad....if you need more pics, let me know.  Others here have been using them for a while now...

Thanks for the info OR_Seedman, I was planning on contacting them but not after what you told me. I have a sissy bar & pad,also a pair of Real Red Head Chief Gilroy Indian Saddlebags.. they all came off my 99 Gilroy Chief that was stole several years back. I'm going to see what I can do to fab up side mounting plates for the bar(since I can't get one) and figure out some way to mount the fringed oval Red Head bags on my 99/1500J. I want to put them to use..not to sell them!
Thanks again for the info. Respects.

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.
