      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.
