Genuine OEM Indian 12" (short version) quick release chrome passenger backrest in great condition for all years of the large-spool hard-bag Chieftain and Springfield
(Dark Horse, Limited and Elite versions of those models too), and 2017 and
newer Roadmaster (15-16 RMs may have too wide stock seat). In 2019 Indian abandoned the small Chief spools (about 28mm with plastic sleeve) so this will also fit the 2019-2021 Chief, Classic, Vintage and Dark Horse models with large spools (about 32mm with plastic sleeve). Will not fit the new version 2022 up Chief models.
Will not fit 2014-2018 Chief models unless you swap to large spools, then it will work. Note: if you swap from small to large spools your saddlebags may not fit.
Easy to
install and remove. Instructions and theft resistant screws included (these are
usually missing on used backrests).
The Indian 12" OEM chrome backrest is in excellent shape, not bent or cracked, no road rash or scrapes, no rust. It may show a few light marks in the chrome from normal light use. Would look perfect on a brand new bike.
The OEM black "rogue" (weave pattern on sides) pad shows no damage, no wear on seam edges as they often have, but has some marks from normal use, see pics.
The OEM luggage rack is in excellent shape, no rust or damage but may show some light marks in chrome from normal use.
