          Nope...differences in seat grab bars between models dictate the backrest mounting, they're NOT the same. BTDT.

              Hi Tom,
              FWIW, the luggage rack/back rest combo from a Standard will NOT fit on a Special because the mounting holes are different.
              If whatever back rest you are thinking about uses those same holes it won't swap neither.

                          Hi again Tom,
                          I accuse myself of imprecision.
                          For sure the luggage rack/backrest combo that came off a 1978 Standard did not fit on my 1980 Standard.
                          XSlover doubtless has better info than I do about other years and types.
