hey ya'll
i need a new seat for my sporty and from looking at the different sites it seems as if there are a number of options for them. let me first say that i have put on the turn signal relocation kit so the signals on my 94xl are now mounted in the last hole of the fender strut. the problem i am having is while looking through all these sites i cant tell if the "backrest" is a good enough replacement to the "sissybar", and does it just bolt in to the fender? i cant run a stock sissy bar on there anymore because of the relocation. another thing, when it says it fits a "94xl" does that mean direct replacement or does some sort of modification need to be done??

thanks in advance.

Are you talkin' about rigid sideplates or detachable? I have a rider backrest on my Mustang, and it doesn't bolt into anything. It just slides into a slot in the seat.
