Hello to the group, I love my bike, but would like to make it more comfortable for me. I have the stock bars that make me feel like I have pull my elbows together(ihave pretty wide shoulders). I think that going taller and having the grips more "straight with rest of the bars" with them would be more comfortable. I am having a hard time finding what I want in a 7/8" bar? I have also seen what looks like an extention for the sissy bar/glove box that gives it a more old school chopper feel, but haven't been able to find where to buy them? Any help would be appreciated and thanks for letting me in!!

Welcome to the machine!

Watch eBay and the Marketplace here to find parts.

Yes, that bag looks like a nice backrest.

When I began building my bike I set up an eBay search, sorted by newly listed, and I checked it every day. That's the best way to catch parts and you rarely have to look beyond the first page to see anything new.

If I'm looking for a specific part I set the search for lowest price and shipping.

No extended backrests on there so far today.

I was thinking the SAME THING, that bag looks like a very comfortable backrest! I may consider doing the same for my Vulcan one day.

I used a soft sided cooler with a side pouch, stuffed a towel in the pouch and it made a nice backrest. ... and I always had cold drinks.

I like those backrest bags though, you can catch them on shopgoodwill pretty cheap, Kuryakyn, Saddlemen, etc.
