I been looking for a baseplate and backrest for my R, I'm not paying 400-600 for one. So next week my friend and I are going to get some steel rod and break out the torch and welder and fab up my own using my saddle bag brackets. I'll post pics of the process and the install. Also, if anyone is interested after I'm done, I'll start selling them and not charge the outrageous prices like "hrf900r" off ebay does. I don't care, the guy is NUTZ :spank:

The hfr900 guy buys vrod stuff cheap and then lists on ebay for retail+ prices. He used to lurk on his site and buy up the good deals, but has been banned a fee times I understand. Notwithstanding, I sold something on ebay cheap and it ended up in his hands and he listed for over double what he bought from me. Sorry to stray off topic a bit, but there is a "sticky" thread about the guy in the classified section. It is the Henry Bron thread.
Good luck with the build!

There are still R model base plates to be found New at Harley dealerships across the country, my local Harley dealerships parts man was able to find one a couple of weeks ago for me for a little over 200 brand new. If you would like I can see if he still has the information for the dealerships that still have them in stock.
