    Rear tail-rack and OEM backrest

    I would like a rear tail-rack like the OEM but the larger one (wider)

    I would also like an OEM backrest with an extender. I currently have a Show Chrome backrest on the bike and don't like it.

    Could someone point me in the right direction to order these?

    I have the Matte Gray F6B

    Thank in advance..

    The closest thing to the OEM in a larger size would be the MP4 unfortunately it looks like they went tits up so you have to keep your eyes peeled for those as they are scooped up as soon as they go on sale. Show Chrome has one which is tubular and larger but doesn't look anything like the OEM. Look at the Utopia backrest, I had one and highly recommend it.

    I know of the Show Chrome rack, it's shiny, I don't want shiny...

    One option is the rack made by Dale up in Washington.

    I've seen that rack in a 'smoke chrome' color that looks pretty good. Wingstuff has it.

    This is what I have in mind. But I am not sure how to get it?

    Gonna need to wait for a used one.
    MP3 don't play no mo'.

    Watch for guys selling their F6Bs and see if they'll part with the rack.
    Maybe....yes maybe, eBay.
    Cheers,

    Correction:

    That's the MP3 rack I had mentioned except I called it an MP4, why? I don't know.

    Just installed smoked rack from Show Chrome and it looks ok. Hardware to install rack is junk though.
