ok
dont think they will move the rest back far enough to help me though
so a friend is goin to cut me some pieces out of galvanized and weld them together to move my
turning signals and backrest back several inches
then I can mount saddle bags and make wife more comfortable with her knees
goin to have them powercoated crome, or thats the plan at the moment anyway

Genuine Honda side straps and backrest.........not copies, or Cobra as Shcoolbusman had. The real Honda mounts are taller and longer than after market copies or Cobra (see my photos above).

You may have the shorter Honda brackets. They do come in different heights. I found this out last year when I owned 2 T's. One had a shorter set of brackets than the other, and the taller bracket sat further back. I'm thinking the differences were about 1" taller and longer.

I think you have the wrong brackets that the sissy bar bolts to. My brackets end farther back than yours. Not much help, but my sissy bar bolts on at least 3" to 3 1/2" farther back. I have Honda line brackets.
The top of the brackets on my bike are taller than yours also, maybe 3" taller so the back rest will be higher to with the right brackets. 3" higher and 3 1/2" back with the right brackets.

if they still make them you can also make the...

I purchased a Honda Line sissy bar for my T and the bar hits the back of the seat and the pad takes up some of the seating are for my wife. I have a cobra seat on it and have tried 3 differeent sissy bars on it. I even had one of my friends that had a regular Honda shadow with a cobra seat on his let me try it on my bike. Still the same. Any help would be appreciated. Schoolbusman.
