PM Clifford for the luggage rack or look on our classifieds section, there's usually one there as well. Clifford knows which ones fit which models, so it's worth going through him.

yep, switched to the tall sissy bar a few years ago along with luggage rack. I got it primarily so I could hang a tbag on it. Wife likes it better to. Sold my shorty on ebay.

I gave my shorty to Ironman to use as a templet for the "Grab bar" and I gave my shorty pad to someone who needed it on the RSC.

Darn, so what pad do you have on there now?
The tall bar only comes with the bar (no pad), so if you have the shorty, you do not need to buy a new pad, the pad fits both. Just to clarify for anyone wanting to switch short to tall or the other way around. Of course if you don't have anything now, you'll need to get a pad too, unless your passenger likes resting their back on metal. Sorry, that last one is dang obvious now isn't it?

I got a tall pad from Ultimate when I bought the seat set. I got all four pieces plus rain covers plus shipping plus... well you get the idea... $980 later, I'm all set for a while.
I think you can get just that one if you need it???

Hi Darn(Dan?),i am trying to find cliffords info to buy the rear luggage rack you have but am having trouble,do you have his email ot phoen 3 handy to pass along to me in a PM,i'd really appreciate it. I need the luggage rack for same reason you you do which is to drop a back pack on it mostly for the wife esp oin longer rides.
And i am going to bite the big bullet and get the ultimate sissybay pad for tall eom R* sissybar along with the ultimate rear pass seat for the wife . I may even for the 3 or 4 pc setup depending on if i feel i need the driver backrest or not,i can always buy that later on if i run into any back support issues.
Also,Ultimate states thier dirvers seat doesnt change the drivers ridning position at all , did you find that to be the case going from stock eom yamaha driver seat to the ultimate driver seat? I cant belive it but the stock seat on my 06 silverado is a perfect position for me all the way arround and would really not be very happy if the unltimate drivers seat did in fact change the drivers seating position making it less comfortable for me which is important to me to verify before i buy a new ultimate drivers seat.
And i take it that your " Scoother Girl" as you put it thinks the ultimate pass seat is way better the the stock oem roadstar pass seat, correct?
I am just trying to ensurei amdoing the right thing spending this much $ on seats befor the drop the cask becasue i am ot loaded with $.
But,if the ultimates seats are as good as everyone here in RSC says they are comming from the 1st hand exp all you guys have with these seats these bikes i guess they have to be that good & i trust the judgement you guys have here in this site,you know what your taling about.
Thanks again,Scott

UPDATE,DARN/DAN,I finally found a Clifford listed in another post so i PM'd him to see if he was the correct person which likely will be the case .
So no need to knock yourself out trying to get Cliff's contact info to me unless you have it at your fingertips so its very easy to pass along to me wihout you having to waste any time hunting it down fspecail or me.
Scott

OK, to PM Clifford, all you have to do is click on your name on this page at the top right corner, that takes you to your mail (it's red when you have mail) just above the "Search" box. In the mail click on "New Message" start typing clifford in the to box and his name will pop up.
I didn't like the ultimate seats at first, you have to get used to them. Scootergirl is 50/50 on the pillion seat, she liked the strap that's on the OEM. I LOVE  the backrest! About 2 weeks after I got the ultimate seats I rode down to the RSC meet & Greet at "Lake of the Ozarks" in MO. I got used to the seats and love them, on the way back I put about 500-800 miles per day on and the seats were great! They do have some issues with fit, ask MS1700, he had quality issues with his as well, some hardware fell off and had to be replaced. I wanted to customize mine with the blue ostridge incerts, but didn't because if I didn't like the seats, I wouldn't be able to return them then.

Hey; since we're talking about sissy bar pads and luggage racks, does anyone know if Venture Royale seats will mount up to a Roadie? They sure look comfy.
