    mix and match aftermarket backrests and racks

    Please forgive my inexperience, got my new 6 Standard in December and now she sits under a cover in the garage waiting for the weather to break here in Cincy.
    Looks to me like all the aftermarket passenger backrests and luggage racks mount through the same bolt holes behind the seat. True?
    Are the MP3 rack and the Show Chrome backrest compatable? The show chrome-Value Accesories site mentions the ability to mate their backrest with the showchrome rack but I really like the MP3 style rack better. Any expierience or advise would be helpful.

    Yes, Honda's factory rack, MP3's, and Showchrome's all mount to the same bolt holes as the passenger backrest.
    If you have a standard you will also need a Rear Carrier / Backrest Attachment, NHB-01

    All in taste. I prefer the MP3. But many here prefer the show chrome on their slower black models.

    So with the proper available brakets you can mix brands on backrests and racks?

    I have an aftermarket back rest from Corbin mated with a extended height bracket on my Deluxe. Bought both items from guys here on the forum. So yes, you can mix match

    I believe I already told you that in my post. It's the second post in the thread.
